1. I AM A BALLET DANCER

2. Meet Rachael, she is 15 yrs. Old and a freshman at Deerfield High School

3. I have been a ballerina since I was 3 yrs. Old. Yet one day everything changed … Ballet wasn’t just a hobby and a beautiful talent that will take years to perfect - it was also a science.

5. No, silly Blue, not that thinking chair!! The other one, in the classroom. Well, its not really a thinking chair considering my test scores. But anyway… WHAT COULD I DO MY PHYSICS PROJECT ON?

10. http://www.abt.org/education/library.asp Show: Arabesque Balance Pas De chat These people are pro’s so don’t try this at home!

12. Elizabeth Taylor (my dog) is often the best audience member of mine. Considering she doesn’t get up very much and sleeps a majority of my dancing.

13. Leaping~ Its physics!!!

14. # of times Time in Sec. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 04.1 04.3 03.3 03.6 04.1 04.7 03.2 03.3 Notice how I got 03.3 seconds the most times!

15. So, if my family room is 262 inches long that means it is 6.65 meters long. This means that my velocity math would look a little something like this: Distance: 6.65 meters Time: 03.3 seconds Velocity: ??? V= d/t V= 6.65 meters / 03.3 seconds = 2.01 mps Meaning that as I am leaping in a space of 6.65 meters I am traveling 2.01 meters per second.
