In class we had energy debate rounds if you want to see which energy source you would like for the future. In this energy debate you'll see solar against hydro power. In the video you will lear a lot about the different energy sources. In Revolutionary War simulation we did causes of the Revolutionary War. I did the stamp act and if you find it, you can see how long it lasted and you can see a YouTube video about the Stamp act after the French and Indian War.
In class we read a article about secondary energy sources and I was assigned to learn about nano tech solar cells. Nano tech solar is similar to solar except it grows. It's practically a plant. Nano tech's reality factor is 4 which means that it is more realistic than other secondary energy sources. If you want to know more I have a slide show above.
In class Mr. Solarz split us up ( The kids who weren't writing their arguments for the second round ) and we read Searching for tomorrows energy source By : Melissa McDaniel. My favorite part was when we learned about all the different energy sources and the ones we didn't know existed like wave power for instance. In Lit circles me and my group (Rowan, Lily, Michael and Chris) read the book PIE. I really liked the book because it really kept me wondering and the story teaches a lesson, teaches how to get emotional in stories and even though nobody likes you because of something you like, you don't have to change. These skills and the 21st century skills packet help my class be a 21st century kid because instead of doing packets and worksheets we do more "futuristic" things like the poster we made today. Doing the poster was really tricky but at the same time a fun activity to do in class. We actually had to use some of our 21st century skills during this activity like thinking creatively and using technology. There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure. Colin Powell My energy group made a poster on creatly that showed essential characters non-essential characters and other facts abou.t Hydropower
