Cecilia Payne and the Composition of the Stars Cecilia Payne (1900–1979) Payne began a long project to measure the absorption lines in stellar spectra She showed that the wide variation in stellar spectra is due mainly to the different ionization states of the atoms and hence different surface temperatures of the stars, not the different […]

Seeing Sound

Rowan’s interest in sound engineering continues to develop. His latest focus is to extend his dj station with additional output of signal (sound) to more devices (speakers). In order to support his exploration and desire, he installed a small Behringer mixer, but soon discovered that while it has a lot of inputs, what he really […]

Herbology 1 : Hogwarts Greenhouse One

Kala participated in her first Outschool course today, “Herbology & Magical Plants”. Here’s a recap: I learned about magical plants with many, many uses. We talked about cool plants like the Nightshade. The Nightshade is so pretty, it was used to dilate women’s eyes which used to be considered a beauty standard. As time passed, […]

Grandparents, Gravity, Goodies, and Dessine

Will complete this entry when I have the mind to get all the images together. Tinker Crate with Grandpa – they did the fiber optics constellations and the defy gravity game Grandpa tuned the piano and Lily has become fascinated with not only playing but watching the mechanics. Today she stated she’s going to […]

Cloud Seeding

We have begun our day with a few subjects, ranging from the concept of the kobayashi maru exercise and politics, to the value of independent thought and questioning, to challenging status quo and “how we’ve always done it/thought about it”, to cloud seeding. Warm seeding Cold seeding The question we now have is, if the water […]

Operation Ouch!

We found a new series on CBBC today, “Operation Ouch!” Lils is loving it! It is actually gross enough I can hardly watch it. Operation Ouch! Operation Ouch! is a British 24-part children’s educational television programme about the human body, it shows what happens in A&E, what doctors sometimes have problems with and great experiments.

This is what we’re exploring this week… commons.wikimedia.org / Via Hannah Jewell 1. The car heater lib.muohio.edu Magnus Manske via commons.wikimedia.org(8516891322).jpg The first car heater, which directed air from over the engine to warm the chilly toes of aristocratic 19th-century motorists, was invented by Margaret A. Wilcox in 1893. She also invented a combined clothes […]
