In math, the class is moving along at a steady clip. In recent weeks, we have been getting reacquainted with rational numbers. They have been practicing doing conversions between fractions, decimals, percentages. Some of us are still struggling to conceptualize these amounts and we will work on having a better grasp of them through the new year. We are moving towards performing basic operations with these rational numbers.
In science, the class is really excited about making solar powered cars. We spent several classes learning out silicon and how it can be used to make solar panels. We discovered why solar panels are not currently a popular way to collect electricity and what variables may impact the effectiveness of our solar panel cars. We are in the early stages of construction. Be on the look out for images and information on our cars as they progress.
