Structure competition and more ...

Yesterday near sundown I got out of softball practice and raced home to see the twinleaf bloom ... they were closed.  Either it as too cold to open or the close during the night ... in either case several have blooms but none were open, there still no picture.  Lots of other woodland flowers blooming ...

This week in Selected Topics, we are building a tower that will hold a maximum weight ... students are using popsicle sticks ... 34 gram max and must be between 7.5 and 8.5 inches in height.  Our students have worked like troopers after a discussion on load-bearing members, laminations and the force of gravity.  We will move out to the weight room on Thursday to test our structures ... the best ever structure held 207 pounds.

In AP we are working on geologic time, taxonomy and evolution.  We have a lab tomorrow on plant transpiration. 

Softball game with South Warren today ...
