Robots didn’t take over the Lagoon amusement park in Farmington on Friday, but they certainly added to the fun.

The popular USU Physics Day was held Friday, and busloads of high school and middle school students enjoyed the chance to explore the park and participate in a series of physics-related activities.

This year’s educational activities and contests — including a robotics competition and a model amusement ride competition — also featured the popular egg drop from the park’s sky ride.
