Why you have to breathe in oxygen ... what happens if you do not and how to build a still ... anaerobic respiration with yeast using carbohydrates for an energy source.
The winner of the Grand Prix of Karel Problem was Kinsey ... pictured below ... one of our senior softball players that CAN nerd up when necessary! It was the last of our more simple Karel problems but, a lot of fun. Next week, we finish our Cliffclimber and Hurdles problems and I will assign the last of our advance logic problems before moving on to Microscoft qBASIC programming.
In the evening our softball team was honored as the Bowling Green Hot Rods (a minor league baseball team) Hometown Heroes for winning the 2011 State Softball Tournament. We had several players attending and it was fun to see everyone ... one more event will wrap up the 2011 season, the ring ceremony when they dedicate the new athletic facility in a few weeks. Below is former player Catie waiting to throw out the first pitch before the Hot Rods game.
Sue Neal and I have Rachel, Kyle, John and Claire here for the weekend. We stayed up and talked (told stories) after the ball game ... chocolate chip pancakes are on the agenda for this morning.
Yesterday we got a good shower ... over 1/2 inch ... maybe more on Sunday ... we still need a good soaking rain.
