Why don't more people use solar panels? Because of reasons.
From macro to micro, what a wonderful world.
It’s Earth Day, I figured I should talk about Earth stuff. How about, sustainable energy.
A few weeks ago, I was teaching one of my science classes about energy. The focus was on kinetic and potential energy because it meant that the kids got an excuse to launch pingpong balls around the room with elastic band-powered catapults. But while I was giving the pre-activity talk I mentioned solar energy and solar panels. One of the kids asked, with understandable frustration, why people don’t more people use solar power. The sun’s right there, all the time.
The time of teeth
I intern with my dog trainer's school and help out with their puppy socialization class. While watching puppies play is pretty heartwarming, my favourite part is training sessions. By week three, all of the pups have a sit on cue and are working towards their cued downs. It's fascinating watching their little gears turn as they try to figure out what behaviour gets the hallowed click (and inevitable treat). However, another huge part of puppy class is socialization and handling.
Ok, this is apparently an old dog, but he's so funny I couldn't help myself.
Folding 88 paper planes
This week, I made a lot of paper planes. A LOT. Apparently young children have trouble with folding paper planes.
