Few discoveries were found in the solar challenge experience. One thing that I discovered was that wind does indeed make the temperature of water get colder. I also discovered how to use ietherpad, which is a online chat place. The biggest scientific challenge for me was setting up the scientific method because it was very tedious. The most personal challenge for me was working hard to finish the project because I felt kind of rushed with the swim meet. If I could do something new in the experiment I would measure the wind speed of the fan because it gives the audience more data. I don’t think the class feedback was very helpful because people were being lazy and not giving me the best feedback. I think that the solar challenge was a good way to test our thinking levels and scientific method skills. It was also a good way to be able to choose our own topics freely. My topic was “What effect does wind have on the temperature of water.” This relates to myself because the human body is 75% water and it is important to understand how water works. Water also covers 2/3 of the Earth. If we don’t understand water then we will never be able to harness it’s power. Wind is something that needs to be understood also. Wind is one of those renewable energy sources. If we use it properly we can become a greener planet. A summary of our experiment was, we first set up everything in the scientific method on ietherpad, then we executed the experiment, and lastly finish the data analysis and conclusion and present. I felt that the presentation was good because it actually got us thinking about the assignment instead of mindlessly doing the experiment.

If I was actually in the painting I would feel pretty awkward because of all of the people bowing to me. If I was the character in the painting I would feel pretty sad and emo because I would know who would betray me and I would know I would die soon. The background is also very dark which gives it that dark feel. I would sort of feel happy to because I would know that I was going to go to heaven soon. I wanted it to be a little bit darker so the colors would feel richer when I was integrated.

EN-V is a plug-in hybrid concept car that is only a two-seater. It is three times shorter than the average car on the world today and can go 40 miles without having to recharge. It can also travel at a top speed of 40 miles per hour. It has a screen where you can video talk with anyone else with an EN-V. It is made of carbon fiber, acrylic, and custom tinted plastics. It runs on lithium-ion batteries. This relates to our lives in many ways. First off, it is very small and light. This means that it can slide into tiny parking spaces. Secondly, it is very eco-friendly. Plug-in hybrid technology is just kicking off and is very efficient. All you do is go to a charging station and they sell electricity to you like selling gas. This also relates to us because it has technology similar to a phone. Most people have phones and sometimes you can even talk to each other on video. This is almost identical to EN-V technology. The EN-V relates to our lives in many ways.
