Introductory Superhuman Physics, Period 4 [9-16]

"Good afternoon," Jean-Paul announced. "Housekeeping: your syllabus is on your desk. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask. I will be holding office hours on Wednesdays if you would like to speak to me more privately about anything. Now." He clapped his hands together enthusiastically. "Down to business. Today's topic: Flight. No wings. Flight with wings will be next week, and if any of you have wings I have not noticed yet, please speak to me after class or in my office hours. Or if you know someone with wings who might be willing to provide a practical demonstration, please send them my way. Additionally, lest you think I am quite mad for suggesting one of you might have wings I have not noticed, I know a man with a twenty-foot wingspan who can fold them down to be unseen under a suit jacket. But I digress.

"Last week we discussed gravity. Gravity is critical. It keeps the Earth in orbit, and keeps us all from flying off into space by simple dint of jumping." Jean-Paul, whose feet were on the ground for once, jumped up once and came back down to demonstrate. "To work against gravity, most people must exert force via their muscles. And yet..." he slowly rose until his feet were a good two feet off the ground. "I, and some of you, can act against gravity by doing this. Your assignment for the day is to break up into groups and discuss how this is possible. There are no wrong answers; scientists have been arguing over this for years. However, do please try to use logic and what you know of physics in formulating your hypotheses."

Library [9.16]

Anemone was very disappointed in the lack of kitten-books today, not that Gulliver minded at all. 

To compensate for the lack of fuzzy-friends, she spread her art supplies out all over the floor and set to work drawing pictures of some of the cuter kittens she had encountered last week.  Maybe she could get the pictures to come to life... 

The Fandom High Library was open.  Beware the invasion of the colored pencils.  

Hands-On Art, Class #3, Period 1

"Hi, everyone," Lily greeted the class. "I have what may be the world's worst headache. Lucky for me, you kind of have an interactive movie day. You're going to be learning to take some instruction. Those of you with previous art experience can learn some new techniques from this video, and those of you who have no idea what you're doing can get some sort of instruction. So you all have paints and canvas set up to work with, so while the video's playing, paint some happy trees of your own. Quietly."


[Sorry for the lameness. My trip of omg busy is over today and I'll be leaving for the airport in like an hour.]

"The last time," Lulu began her lecture, to her assembled students, "that I taught a cooking class, last January, one of my first lessons was about breakfast foods. I'd like to do the same today.

"In terms of nutrition," she continued, "breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It tells your metabolism what kind of levels of food to expect during the course of the day -- a larger breakfast will tell your metabolism to work a little harder, for example. If you're trying to lose weight, then, a larger breakfast followed by smaller meals later in the day is key.

( One of the most basic breakfast foods )

Lulu smiled. "As a drink, I recommend apple or orange juice, as they will help round out the meal. Coffee and hot chocolate, however, are also provided. You can find the drinks at the front of the room as well." She paused. "Feel free to drink them during the class as well."

[OCD is up! in a few Everything after the lj-cut taken and slightly modified from this lecture, both because it's an easier way to retread the class, and also because I slept in LIEKWHOA. ^^;; ]
