"Now, as I'm sure the two of you already know," said Amaya, once it was time to get class going, "next week is your school trip, and I've been looking into it a little bit, and one of the places we'll be stopping is Paris, which is home to something called the Eiffel Tower, a massive structure developed by engineer Gustave Eiffel for a World's Fair in 1889 made of what's called puddle iron, which is an iron refined to remove to carbon, constructed in an impressively short amount of time, so, naturally, it's relevant to our interests."

Well, it was relative to hers, anyway.

And, with that, Amaya rolled out a chalkboard so she could start detailing for the students exactly what made the construction of this landmark so interesting, impressive, and, most of all, relevant to their interests, as well, at least in the context of this class.

"So," she said, as she reached the conclusion of the lesson, "today, you're going to recreate your own. I have instructions on how to make a smaller version of an Eiffel tower individually for you to practice and understand the construction, and then I'd like the two of you to try and create a larger version--not 300 meters large, of course--together. I've got a variety of different materials for you to work with, too, so it's up to you to decide how and what and we'll go from there.

"Any questions before we begin?"

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

[needsacatchphrase]

Class this week was in the danger shop, not because of danger, but because of fashion! Which could also be dangerous if you asked Edna Mode.

"Well, with next week being our trip abroad--how exciting, right? We will take this week to put those costume designs into action!"

So, so sorry, Clare.

"So, let's see what you've got in real life this time."

Getting to Know Earth, Wednesday

"Good afternoon," Hannibal greeted the students when they met at Portalocity. "Next week we will be visiting France as a school trip, and if past school trips are any indication, it will be pleasant but not necessarily relaxing. So today, we will see another facet of France: the Alps. Specifically, Cheval Blank spa in the Alps. You can choose from a number of treatments, relax in the sauna or one of the tubs, eat in the restaurant, or simply explore the mountains outside. Enjoy."

He bowed them through the portal and headed off for his own relaxation.

Mechanics of Engineering - Wednesday, 1st Period

Much like last week Goose had been extremely distracted on the weekend and had not done any kind of lesson planning at all, which was not really a surprise to anyone really and so he had resorted to going over his old notes again and found one that he had done a couple of times before.

“So this week we’re going to be looking at Hooke’s Law and how that relates to mechanical engineering,” Goose explained, “in particular it is the theory of the strength of the spring and we’re going to look at whether or not a spring can be accurate for weighing objects,” he paused, “to test that theory today we’re going to be looking at making a Spring Scale,”
