Topic 2, Spring, 2018

Good day, students. Last week we completed our first pair and group presentation practice. I'd have to say that it went well considering it was the first try. I listened to most of you, and was able to hear quite a bit from both the girls' and boys' groups. I am thinking about having us do presentations in different formats for later in the class this semester as well. In the next semester, we will present often in front of the class.

In this week's class we will work on the next topic which we started briefly last week: the atmosphere. We all know how important the atmosphere is; without it we would not be able to breathe or live. It's amazing that this thing we can't see or touch (air) is something vitally important. When small particles contaminate the air, however, we can see the brown color, and this is what we call 'smog' in English. In the next class we will hopefully be able to finish sentences, move on to listening, and may even get to questions/answers.

At the end of this unit you will be putting your design skills to work again for the design and explanation of atmospheric and air cleaning machines. These are real machines that engineers and scientists have designed for this purpose. Yours will be equally important, so please make good designs!

That's all, see you in the next class.
