In MM's class today

Hello all!
This morning we spent our core practicing calculating resistance in series and parallel circuits. We also had some interesting conversations about getting struck by lightening, the trials and tribulations of holiday light strands wired in series versus parallel and why not to take toasters in the bathtub. Additionally, students received an Ohm's Law handout with sample calculations for V=IR as well as some practice problems we'll try tomorrow.
This afternoon we'll have our final prep day for our Mission to Mars "mini-culmination" in alternative energy or shuttle systems, depending on your group. And don't forget your paperwork for the Neutral Buoyancy Scuba Dive. If you answered "yes" to any of the health questions, you'll need a second permission slip. Please see MM, if you do.
