Need self-evaluation sheets from everyone by the end of today- need evidence to support your evaluations.
It is now the start of Term 4-
- Read Term 4 sheets
- Need to continue your Core 4 project, or, if done
- Scientific Inquiry Project
You have 2 weeks to come up with a proposal-
- 6 minute presentation
- What?--What are you going to investigate?
- So What? Impact Goals
- Now What? What are your specific steps?
Come up with a timeline for the next 6 weeks.
Will produce a scientific poster on your project at the end of Term 4.
If you are continuing with the Core 4--what are you personally going to do?
i.e. Journal articles you will read, what will you build or do?
If you are stuck-- sources include asking Dr. T, Pinterest, Instructables, TED talks.
Proposal action starts May 4th.
Group Check-Ins:
Algae Group:
The algae group restarted a number of bioreactor bottles, with new manifolds for aeration and new airstones.
Improved aeration and air stones, and not over-feeding, has improved growth significantly.
The Algae group will continue working with the algae project- pursue harvesting, oil/lipid extraction, etc.
Questions/Next steps-- Could you keep the algae alive over the summer?
Bikes Group:
Will be working to stabilize the bike frame, and investigating ways to produce continuous power output.
Generator charges battery using solar panel controller( Vellaman 80L4UCN2)- automatically switches load to battery when charged.
Materials Group:
Moving on to mycelium project. Soaked straw substrate in Hydrogen Peroxide to sterilize; will inoculate with mycelium spores.

Left 2 terminals: 12V to inverter( Cobra CPI 480 DC to Ac Inverter)
Center 2 terminals connected to 12V gel-cell battery
Terminals 5 and 7 connected to generator or to solar cells

Began building prototype for rooftop garden system.
Aquaponics Group-
Have been replacing plants, adding supports to pea plants; working on building a refilling station,
will begin planning temperature control system.
May move on to bikes. May get fish for system.
