Your homework for tomorrow is to find pictures of items that you will use in an “imaginary” bedroom that you will be constructing for the next French project. You must come with either printed out pictures, pictures cut out from a magazine, or another method that you will have already discussed with me.
Do not come to class without these pictures. You will get a late homework slip!
You must have the following items:

un lit, un bureau, une chaise, une fenetre, une porte, une affiche, un tapis, un ordinateur, une lampe, un sac

You need to add 10 more items of your choice. You can be as whimsical as you wish, as long as you can find the French vocabulary for them.

Not only a great rock and roll band but also two types of electric current, The main difference is where the current comes form, read this:

Direct Current vs. Alternating Current

Batteries, fuel cells and solar cells all produce something called direct current (DC). The positive and negative terminals of a battery are always, respectively, positive and negative. Current always flows in the same direction between those two terminals.The power that comes from a power plant, on the other hand, is called alternating current (AC). The direction of the current reverses, or alternates, 60 times per second (in the U.S.) or 50 times per second (in Europe, for example). The power that is available at a wall socket in the United States is 120-volt, 60-cycle AC power.

I will be out again on Monday and may be out Tuesday as I am serving on a Jury.
Each team should complete their waterwheels on Monday in class and you all should be working on your info sheets for the waterwheel project I am including the project outline  here 
I have looked at you comments and am pleased at the questions and thoughts you have generated.
We will be working with motors when I return.
Continue to research motors on your own, do a google search for Beakman motors.
Here is a great site to help you understand electricity AC and DC current as well as how motors work.
See you all soon, email me if you have any questions!
Steve
