HW - None unless you still need to finish your Potential Energy research.

No fish trapping this week.

Programming


Monday to Friday - This week student teams will continue working on their Classcraft quests learning about Robotics and coding. If teams finish all nine quests required this week, they can start building their Lego Mindstorms EV3 robot next week!

Mr. G will be at this year's NCCE Conference from Tuesday to Thursday, and going to another Science workshop Friday, so students will have substitute teachers most of the week in Robotics.

HW - None
