Science Lab

Today in Science Lab, we had multiple station to travel to, which all dealt with different sources of energy. First, we assigned different parts of the text to ourselves and scanned for information. Then we filled in a chart with sections such as What, Where, Uses, Hazards, and Other Facts. The eight resources were solar energy, wind energy, coal, petroleum, natural gas, geothermal energy, hydroelectric energy, and nuclear energy. Some resources are cheap, but pollute the environment or are dangerous while others are expensive to use, but environmentally friendly.

Computer Lab

Today in Computer Lab, we explored multiple websites designed to help with autodidactism, the process of teaching one's self, which has been increasing greatly lately. Before that, we learned about Salman Khan, who started out making his famous videos for his cousins, and filming in his closet, until he received multimillion dollar donations from Bill Gates, Google, and other sources. Then we went to other autodidactism sites, some of which, such as Wondertropolis, answer random questions, while others, like the Math Dude, concentrate on one subject. New innovations make autodidactism easier, and it's also a good way to study for a test. Unlike previous times, the world has many ways to educate yourself on things you're curious about. Use them!
