Science Lab Response

March 22, 2012

          Today in Science Lab, the class learned about the usage, cons, and many other facts about resources that generate electricity.  Some examples of this would be natural gas, nuclear energy, solar energy, and wind energy.  We went around group tables and read a packet about some energy and took notes about it.  Our class learned about some percents of the amount of energy California uses for each type of energy.  For example, we uses about 43% natural gas out of all the electric energy used in California.  Science lab helped our brains to learn more about the kinds of energy used everyday.

Computer Lab Response

          For computer lab on March 15, 2012, we started the lab with talking about Khan Academy.  We learned about how he started working in a closet, but since his videos were so good, he got 3,000,000 dollars from Bill Gates!  As Google later found out about Khan Academy, they gave him a couple million dollars as well.  With this, he hired employees, created a compony, and was successful.  With this lesson, I learned more about the history of Khan, a website our class is working on.  After that, our class learned more about some great learning sites that can help us on some hardships one has.  An example of this will be Aglet, a bunch of informational videos that share vocabulary not many people know about.  These sites helped us with strengthening our learning brains.  Computer lab was great learning experience that gave our class some websites to help strengthen our brains.
