After doing alot of research on this topic, me and my partner decided to do the box type solar panel cooker. We believe that this would be the most effective way of cooking the marshmallow. This is because the heat will be captured in the box and not allowed to excape like other solar panel cookers. The box type is also the easiest one to make so I think that it would best fit our idea of a homemade solar panel cooker.

SOLAR ENGERGY








I think that this activity will be very challenging but also very rewarding. I have never made a solar pannel before or even experimented with one. I believe that this activity will help me to broaden my horizon and also give me more skills to use in the future. I also think that this activity will be fun. Watching your creation come to life is one of the most rewarding things that I know, so i'm glad that I will be able to see this happen once again.

LESSON 8

The two colleges that I chose to research are Georgia Tech and Florida State. Both of these colleges offer excelent engineering programs. Since Georgia Tech is in Georgia I wouldnt have to pay that high of tuition. Also Georgia Tech is close to home so I mightl not have to pay for boarding.
LESSON 7

The two careers that I explored further during this time were a chemist, and a professional athlete. I have always had a passion for chemistry. Creating and testing new chemicals creates a thrill for me. I also explored professional athlete because I want to become a professional golfer.

LESSON 6 pt 2

I did not particularly find this lesson that helpful because I had already been to this website earlier in these assignments and I basically took in the same information as last time.

LESSON 6 part 1

Both of these article were very interesting. The idea of cars constructed in the form of a lounge and cars that can change looks in an instant is mind blowing. I never thought I would be able to see anything like this in my life time. Finding out that technology found in scientic fiction movies may be available pretty soon is also very scary.
LESSON 5

This lesson was very helpful to me in many ways. It allowed me to find many careers that fitted me, and also many that did not. It mainly helped me to weed out the careers that would provide suffiecient funds for the life style that I want to live. The career that intrest me the most was an Aerospace engineer. I think that it would be fun to work on aircrafts that entered and exited the world that we know. Another video that also intrested me was a video about the LHC. The LHC, which stands for Large Hydrogen Collider, collides nuclei at the speed of light. These collisions rival those of the big bang. With this information they can find out more about how our world was created, that is if you beleive in the big bang theory. Although this lesson was very helpful it was also very time consuming.
