Class Update



Thursday, March 4th. Today we explored the world of DC motors and how it is possible to get them to generate electricity as well. We were able to puzzle through how they work as motors, but were less successful at getting them to work as generators. But we shall try again. We also decided to put off the homework deadline until Tuesday, March 8th. Too much going on with the Science Experiments and trying to get them finished by this weekend. We will be spending time on Monday and Wednesday of next week polishing up our results, making graphs, typing summaries, and creating our posters which are due on Thursday, March 11th. In these pictures we were using one motor as a wind generator to power the other motor as a fan. We couldn't quite spin it fast enough.
