SENIOR SCIENTISTS CLASS Powering a windmill...................with electricity



March 4, 2019

Today's senior scientist class, led by class newcomer and former science teacher, Bill Wright, challenged the brain
and the hand -eye coordination - and EVERYONE succeeded!!

Bill brought all the necessary equipment (battery, wire, card, nail, and magnets for everyone), explained the challenge, put it into a historical context, then gave out the resources, and EVERYONE eventually made a propellor propel/operate using the very basic material........

The atmosphere was super-charged!!
Well done, Bill!!
















After everyone shared their creation, I thanked Jim for a super presentation, and then gave out a handout, 
selections from the SCIENCE NY Times .......

I could tell by the smiling faces that it had been another enjoyable, participatory session, marred only by Sara's absence 
through ill health.

So, what shall I do next week?
