From last class we learned that different ocean layers stratify in this ocean, in part due to a given body of water’s salinity. This class we learned how temperature affects water density too!
Read MoreOur students today got their hands on a breadboard and some real electronic components.
Read MoreToday we explored water density stratification in the ocean and focused specifically on brine pools.
Read MoreToday our students became spaceship engineers.
Read MoreOur students continued their on-paper design of their spaceship.
Read MoreData capture is an important part of any scientist’s research.
Read MoreThe students opened class with a question “How do machines think?”
Read MoreData capture is an important part of any scientist’s research. Our camera-captured rocket data unfortunately was not granular enough to analyze and recent weather conditions prevented us from taking better quality footage.
Read MoreLast class we sent "probes" to "distant solar systems", mimicking the goals of the Breakthrough Starshot program, in order to gather vital information for potentially settling those planets.
Read MoreWe continued with analyzing a Ted talk by David Christian on Big History, History of the World in 18 minutes. I very much encourage you to view to it too!
