Post Energy Test

The test wasn't terrible for me. It was skeptical because we were given 30 minutes to do 22 question over the unit and it counted as 100 points. So you were given very little wiggle room with the amount of questions you could miss. The practice tests Frank put on schoology really helped, the format of the questions were pulled directly from that. In the end, I was able to pull off an A which was huge to my quarter grade.

Biodiesel Boat

We were given the opportunity to use our biodiesel to run our put-put boats. It was an exciting event because we actually got to make a boat and race it against others. After a tedious 10 minutes of construction, Kyle and I created a boat out of a gallon jug. We raced it and got a pretty average time, but we made it across the finish line, meaning we get full credit. In the end, I thought this was a needed change of pace for this class. It was an enjoyable break and it took some stress of of my senioritis that is kicking in pretty hard. Anyway.. I didn't actually get a picture of our boat, but here is a cool put-put boat :-)

Biodiesel Lab

We started our biodiesel lab a couple weeks ago, and I have to say it was one of the more fun things we have done. It started off with the video that I discussed earlier in the week. Then we actually got to make our biodiesel. It was honestly an easy process and makes me wonder why we don't use biodiesel... Anyway, it ended up eating through our cups and we had to throw it away :/...

Biodiesel Project

We have worked on a bio-diesel video for the last week. Kyle and I made out project to increase awareness on how bio-diesel can help the environment. We used some pathos to get to the viewer. We compared the poor effects of oil to the benefits of bio-diesel.

Pancake Party

The pancake party was a nice break. It was a great time with a lot of fun and laughs. Frank the Tank made some delightful pancakes and we had plenty of tasty toppings. Frank also made an attempt to create some geometrical shape with the pancake batter.. The image is still up for debate on what it actually looks like..

Bonding Post Test

The bonding test was quite difficult for me. I was not entirely prepared because the previous weekend and a few of my weekdays were spent at DECA state and I was not able to refresh or review until I got home. Hopefully I can work hard to get my grade back up.
