Activities: Summarize the activities of the week and discuss what it is that we
learned, hypothesize about results and their implications, debate possible
sources or error and applications to the real world, present power point
presentation #2 over Dr. Brumbelow’s work, answer the question, “How do I
become an engineer or scientists?”, Post test, and invite Dr. Brumbelow, Dr.
Boulanger, and Dr. Zechman in to speak to classes.
