Weekly Update Jan. 22nd - 25th

During this short week we will review the concepts of electrical motors and generators in anticipation of the RAFT project due on Friday. On Tuesday students should have a rough draft ready for me to review in class. Everyday this week students will have opportunities to work with motors and generators first hand so that they may observe the phenomena.

If the students need further resources to research how the motors and generators convert energy they can find them on-line or in their book. I would recommend searching Google using quotes around the search terms, "electric motor" and "electric generator". I've also found that taking off the quotes will work well. The site www.howstuffworks.com can also be a good resource.

E-mail me with any questions. I'll try to keep an eye on my in-box seeing as I will not be needing to do anymore Master's homework. Enjoy your long weekend.

Hey mr. boettcher, I was just letting you know I just finished my spectacular R.A.F.T. Project and I sent it to you the essay for it in an email.
