Notes:

In Current Events we read an article entitled Ahhh! It's Time To Fall Back. A little worn out after all the Halloween festivities? Then you are in luck, because this weekend it's time to 'Fall Back', which means that at 2 am on Sunday, November 3rd, most Americans will add an extra hour to their day, by moving the clocks back. This age-old tradition that goes all the way back to World War One, is observed in other parts of the world too - However the dates differ, with most changing their clocks about a month earlier.  Check out the article here:

In Science, we discussed how Solar Cells work. Solar energy is the most renewable form of energy of all. There is more solar energy coming at us than we will ever need. The problem, of course, is finding ways to capture and use that energy.

Tomorrow (11/7/13) is the Science Fair. It is from 6 to 9 PM. Come check out our class project entitled "Using Your Noodle". We tested the question: Can weak materials be made strong through structural engineering? One of our students (Noah) did a project on Vortex Generator and demonstrated in class today! I will try and post the video up on the blog.
