Beth, Kayleigh, Josh, Max, Colette, Josh and Anna are especially proud to be representing the state at Global Finals. The St. Joseph Alumni Team is sponsored by St. Joseph Regional JHS, and shows how a team can stay together, even if they end up at different high schools. This team of friends is made up from Trinity High School, Manchester Central High School , Bishop Brady and the Derryfield School. |
GLOBALS UPDATE This team wants to once again thank St. Joseph Junior High School Principal Sister Barbara McLean for allowing the team to stay together as an alumni team! Their performance was well received on the Globals stage, attended by teams from around the world, and some very vocal New Hampshire supporters. (Actually, everyone supports everyone at Globals, so it is hard to tell where the New Hampshire fans ended and the Globals fans began!). Their performance was centered around Isaac Newton discovering the laws of gravity and the Laws of Motion. Specially, the gravity in an apple orchard with the help of tree spirits of Shakespeare and Galileo. Newton's world is ruled by superstition. In the team's research, they learned that 3 butterflies are bearers of bad luck and 3 sheep give you good luck. Galileo uses these omens to put a curse on Newton. He is jealous that Newton will take his ideas on the laws of the universe and he will be forgotten. He sends the 3 bad luck butterflies to prevent Newton from discovering gravity and he sends Robert Hooke (a scientist and a major competitor of Newton's) to disrupt Newton's experiments. The bad luck (in the form of a black cat) causes the Newton's Cradle to no longer word. Shakespeare convinces Galileo that science must build off the ideas of previous scientists. He sends 3 sheep to give Newton good luck so that, in the end, he can discover gravity by finally noticing the apple falling from the tree.
