Solar panel work Taking data on solar cell takes deliberate, continuous work	Wiring the breadboard Breadboarding is a way to conveniently connect electronic parts without soldering.
Learning includes playing games Students in blindfolds answer questions but sometimes while doing that the Dean torments the poor souls. Ms. Jaster tries to ignore it all	Testing the solar cars Experimentation is the key to improving. The more iterations you do, the more you learn about your design. It almost looks like the students are looking to step on a bug.
Learning the Achieve STEM way Giving answers is a two way process that involves thinking and discussing. Teachers learn too!	Materials table Bringing ideas to life takes a lot of work with many materials.
Chemistry analysis This team of students tries to figure out what chemicals are in an unknown mixture. Testing is everything, but observation is the heart of the testing.	Turbine work Some teams are never satisfied
Wind turbines, turbines, turbines Sometimes a team does the work but sometimes individuals do the work	IMG_4644.JPG
Wind turbine research Blade tilt is very important in "tuning " the turbine for optimum work... wonder why she's smiling at a windmill?!	More breadboarding for a counter Two or our students are really involved in making this counter work. There's almost room for both of their hands.
