Math: I learned about trigonometry and how to use sine, cosine, and tangent to find side lengths. It was kind of hard for me to understand at first but I am getting the hang of it now. I also had a quiz and I got 100% on it.
Science: I learned about lubricants. Lubricants make things run more smoothly by filling in the tiny crevices. I did an experiment where I saw how soap/water can be a lubricant but lubricants can also be dry. My experiment had me use flour to stop a wheel on my racer.
History: My reading this week was about the slave trade and about the slave trade triangle, wherein sugar/molasses from the West Indies went to the American colonies in exchange for rum & iron which went to Africa, and in Africa they got slaves and gold that went to the West Indies.
Welding: I am working on stick welding. It is hard. You are just welding with a big metal stick and have to move the stick down the length of your project as well as moving the welder closer to the surface as your stick gets shorter.
Sports Conditioning: On Friday we just lifted weights because our other instructor had to go to games with one of the teams. On Wednesday I ran two miles. I also lifted weights.
Drone: Canvas class. I finished my assignment to make a video about the drone safety rules. I turned it in, but here it is in case you are interested. I had my little siblings help by doing the acting and my mom manned the drone on a string.
