"So," said Amaya, as class got started, and she stifled just a little bit of a yawn because someone had an ermine in their apartment to get used to for who even knew how many days, "we've been working on familiarizing ourselves with a few of our more commonly used pieces of equipment, but what if I told you that, today, we'll be working on making our own equipment?

"Now," she continued, "this one is a shop class classic, and it's a lot of fun, and could maybe even be useful one day if you find yourself wanting for a foundry without much space for one. Then you're in luck! Because today, we're learning how to make a
mini one!

( Mini Foundry Day! )

"And that's pretty much it! Good work today! If you'd like, I've got some metal spray paint in a few different colors if you want to give your buckets a little personal touch before you leave; we can leave them to dry so they're good and ready the next time we get the chance to use them. Any questions before we go?"

Beginner's Guide to Heroism, Wednesday - 2nd Period

"Well," Jane said. "Today we'll be covering something thar some people just completely disregard back home, but not everyone! There's thar Spider-Man guy."

Not important. Also, weird magic happened there.

"And that is secret identities and if you think you might need one to keep your heroic actions separate from your personal life and friends and family."

Because wow did they ever all get dragged into things.

"Now, me personally... I'm not sure about it." For reasons best not gotten into. "But I did find out that I can make a magic helmet to cover up my face for people to not know it's me!"

Look at that helmet. It was progress in learning these powers.

"So, what about you all? Secret identity or no?"

Getting to Know Earth, Wednesday

[sharp_man]

Hannibal made sure everyone was dressed for warm weather as they got together, then waved them through the portal.

"Welcome to The Eden Project. The world's largest indoor rainforest, among other things. You can explore the rainforest or Mediterranean climates from here, all of it developed from a clay pit in Cornwall. Which, if you're not familiar with it, is not known for its Mediterranean climate. There are also scientific exhibits, and a zipline to view the gardens from above if you are so inclined."

He shooed them off. "Again, meet me here when you're done."

Mechanics of Engineering - Wednesday, 1st Period

[notagoose]

“Good morning,” Goose began, “this week we’re going to be looking at our next simple machine for this class and we’re going to have a look at the wheel and axel,”

“The wheel and axel is a component for a simple machine that amplifies force and is designed to create a mechanical advantage,” he explained, “and it is believed that the first wheel was a potter’s wheel and that it was first invented in Ancient Greece around 3500 BC in Mesopotamia,”

“Mechanical Advantage,” he continued, “is the measure in which a machine multiples the force put into it,” and it was here that Goose did hand out some notes to go into more depth on mechanical advantage.

“For our practical this week we’re going to be making a cardboard rubber band car,”
