I am Fred (Derf) Carrington, physics teacher. I welcome you to the world of physcs at Grant High School located in the beautiful San Fernando Valley in sunny California. I hope this page leads you into the wonderland of learning physics, because PHYSICS IS REALLY KOOL!.
Whether it be rocket building, save the egg drop, popsicle stick bridge building, musical instrument construction, camera design, electrical devise invention, or some other facet of this wonderful science, you will find that phsyics rules! Physics, you will find, is a challenging and truly interesting exploration of the world around us.
