1. You will be exploring a da Vinci inspired topic, of your choice, and going into great detail. What subject or subjects are you interested in?
 * March 31 2009

2. What interests you about your subject? Why is it something you want to know more about?

3. Would you rather work individually or in a group? And what is the largest group that you would be interested in working in?

4. Look at the images on the In-Class page for March 12th. For each of the levels/skills on Blooms Taxonomy that we discussed, use the key words in the image to tell us some of the things that you might do in your wiki assignment, in order to demonstrate each of the Skills.** (answer to the 4 questions in discussion)

__PROJECT PLANNING:__
In the next few days, this is what I would like from you. I would like you to start developing the answers to these questions and then create a discussion on your page to answer these questions for me: (You might need to do some research first) 3. What do we expect to find out at the end of our research?// //4. How are we going to present this information?// 5. Are we showing higher order thinking skills? (Explain) //6. What supplies do we need, how can Mr. Truss and Mr. Kennedy help?

today i understood how hydroelectricity is made!!!!!!!!!!

June 11 2009

What didn't work.// my original project didn't work. It was going to be a water powered car that flew and floated, but i was determined to make a water powered car. first i got rid of the flying car idea then the floating car idea then i completly scrapped that idea and swiched it to a wind powered car.i probably should have had a partner so we could share the duties.but i would have wanted a partner who didn't have idea's just followed orders.

//What did work.// the model part of the wind energy would have worked perfectly if i finished it.the body would have worked if i fineshed. i think everything would have worked if I finished.

//What i would have changed//. i would have definetly had a partner that would listen to me if i knew the dificulty of this project beforehand.

what did i learn

i learned about the creation of electricity, some types of power, electromagnetism. I had to have a positive atitude toward my project, had to create the project with knowledge, and I needed the skill to build it on my own.**
