What did we learn?
Tuesday: Tusedays Homework was to read an article about a kid named William Yuan who created a 3D sollar cell. Even though he is only 12 years old he has already studied nuclear fusion and nanotechnology. We learned from reading this article that even kids like us can do amazing things.

Wendsday: On Wendsday we started a experiment about "does a laser reflect off a mirror at
the same angle that it is shined at?" We thought it was true so if you shine the laser at a 30 degree angle off a Mirror then the reflection should be at a 30 degree angle.
Angle of Incidence: The angle that the laser is shined at
Angle of Reflection: The angle that the laser bounces off the mirror

Thursday: On Thursday we kept working on our labs.

Friday: We continued to work on our labs.
How Did you learn these ideas?
We learned who William Yaun is by reading the article for homework. We learned that the laser reflects off the mirror at a congruent angle by using a protractor to measure the angle.

Why is it important to know this?
It is important to know about kids like this because they show us and adults that kids can do amazing things.
