The seventh grade learned about electromagnetic induction by creating their very own electric guitars from scratch. This was no easy task. Groups had to engineer their own solutions to creating the guitar body, tuning pegs, and pickup. For the pickup, groups had to wind roughly 2 miles of extremely delicate copper wire around a 3" x 0.5" spool before learning how to solder the wire to a guitar jack. After all their hard work they were able to hook them up to an amp and play a few songs!

GAME NIGHT TONIGHT
We are very excited for Game Night in the Peabody Batten Building tonight from 6:30-8 p.m.! This event is an annual tradition at Peabody, and a fun night for the whole family to enjoy playing familiar games they love and learning new ones, too!
We’ve enhanced Game Night this year with new features (and kept familiar ones), including:
Over 20 game tables!
A demo of a new game developed in Charlottesville called Chickapig! Brian Calhoun, the creator of the game, will be here to show kids how to play. Kids can also sign up to be part of the Peabody Chickapig team to compete against other schools at a tournament this spring.
Food Trucks! The Farm Fresh Fixins food truck is available for dinner and snack options(please remember: no food/drink allowed in the gymnasium).
The Book Fair! Final chance to browse and purchase books!
Game Swap Table! Bring a game, get a game!!
And….especially for MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS
Mr. Corlett will be running a table of Seven Wonders in his classroom, and Mr. Merrick will run a table of poker in his classroom - can you beat them?
5:30 - 6:30 PM - Peabody Alumni Panel for Middle School Students and Parents Come hear Peabody Alumni answer all your questions about high school, and then stay to play games with us!
