Science Lab
        Today, in Science lab, we continued to learn about resources. When we sat down, we got a chart and filled it out by rotating tables every five min. (so then we could fill the whole chart out). Some resources, which were the rows on the chart,  included natural gas, oil, geothermal, nuclear, solar, and wind energy. Some of the columns on the chart were: what, where, what it's used for, consequences, and other facts. One thing that I learned and found interesting was that wind power couldn't be stored easily. The solution was to put "transformers/converters" to change the power into electricity that could be stored. The bad side of this is that the machines were super noisy and had to be placed in remote areas with nobody around. I also learned many other facts/consequences about these energy resources and I found this lab very informative.
