In class this week we started out by watching a Studio C video highlighting some of the ideas of Immanuel Kant. We then did some mathematical science experiments. For example, we learned why when 23 people are in a room, there is a 50% chance of two people having the same birthday.
Homework for next week:
Document Study: Please read and study the document Food and Temper by Julien Offray de Lamettrie. Look up any words that you are unfamiliar with. We will be discussing this document next week.
Essay: Those of you that did not complete your essay need to get those turned in next week. If you are wondering what we look for in a good essay, just make sure it is “quality”. (Think about how quality is defined in “Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance".)
Science Project: Start working on your projects. Do some brainstorming and some research. Keep records of both your research as well as your experiments.
Core Book: 5+
Math Lessons: 4+
Log Booking: 10+ minutes, 4+ per week
Reading: Continue reading our next book-- The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe (due March 3rd)
Patterns & I Wonders: Keep looking for these and bring them to share.
Also, if you find any good and/or obvious lines of logic, please feel free to share them in the comments. We can help each other out learning how to find them more effectively.
