AppInventor, Gunpowder and Visual BASIC

In Computer Programming II today we finished checking our second round of python programs ... lists and list of lists.  Tomorrow is a "B" day and we will continue our project rotation.

AP Biology is in the middle of their BLAST lab and will wrap this lab (Investigation 3) on Monday.  We will stop for a test after finishing our unit on evolution.

Today in Selected Topics, we had our Best of Kentucky Daniel Boone Gunpowder Lab (how to balance an equation).  Student groups were given 10g of saltpetre (potassium nitrate) and then mixed up their custom recipe from research they did last week.  Mr Vernon judged the results by the duration and size of the flash.  We had good results will several ignitions only lasting a second or two.  Congrats to all and picts from the manufacturing below ...






Computer Programming I begins their study of Microsoft Visual BASIC.  Today we finished a quick overview on forms, objects, and properties of objects.  We will work on our first program tomorrow.

50 days until Spring!
