Week 16

This week we worked on the trailer. What we did was cutting a thin piece of wood to put on as the roof. The other partv of our group did the trim. The roof however was really easy to do. Before we put on the roof we had to make sure the walls were evened out enough. As for the plants the tomatoes are little bit weird. What we did to kind of help it was putting in a fan to air it out. The reason for putting in the fan was to air it out because we do think that they are dying because they aren't getting enough air. So we are hoping that works as well as we think it will. The snap peas aren't doing as well as they were in the beginning, now they are dying and I have a feeling they won't make it but we can do everything we can to fix it. The outdoor tomatoes are still doing really good solely growing but making progress. The lettuce had been the same for awhile though but it still looks like it's growing good it hasn't had any problems I've noticed. I don't remember what other plants we did but I haven't seen any thing new.

This week's essential question: how do you get electricity from rotating a shaft? Why is this movement so important

What I found was that a turbine spins the shaft and electromagnets rotate very quickly inside a heavy copper coil that becomes a magnetic field and changes the energy to electricity. I don't know exactly why this movement is so important.
