Carter High Physics Class Wins Knox County Competition

The Carter High School Physics Class won big a few weeks ago when they won a countywide physics competition. The competition was called the Rube Goldberg Machine Competition and the students had to create an effective machine of some sort and submit a video of the machine to UT. The students worked very hard to accomplish their goal and even beat schools like Farragut High School, which came in second place, and Anderson County High School, which came in third place. Students like Kylee Condra who was in the class, feel ecstatic that they won this hard-earned challenge. Condra stated, “We split up in groups and designed our own parts of the machine. We eventually put all the parts together and recorded every trial until it worked properly. I know, as a class, we were all very excited when we won because we all worked extremely hard on it.” According to I’ana Roberts, another student in the class, “I am super proud of my classmates and me. I’m just excited to see what else we could and can do.” Condra and Roberts volunteered the information that when they submitted their video of their machine, they put the song “Waterfalls” by TLC in the background. They jokingly admitted that this was the reason they won. No matter how they won, they are very proud to be winners of this competition. Condra and Roberts are excited to see what they do next in Mr. Adamson’s physics class.
