Shop Class; Wednesday, Third Period [10/19].

"Well," Amaya greeted the class with a grin and a pump of her fist to rally them into shop=-class-mode, "welcome back! Hope you all had a good time on the trip, but now, it's time to get back to business, back to the workshop, and into making some stuff! Usually, I like to do a project a little inspired by what we may have seen while abroad, and I've definitely got something for you guys there, but it's also October, and there's two particular projects I like to do this time of year. Today's ight not seem like much, we're we're not handling any heavy equipment today, but what we're working on will be heavy, and it'll really pay off next week. Hope you haven't been skipping your arm days, because today, we're working with pumpkins. But not just any regular old pumpkins...."

( Concrete Pumpkins! )

But that was all she was going to say about that.

"Might be a bit overkill, too," she added, with a faint grin, "but this could also be a good chance to get in some practice with those handheld jigsaws, right? Let's get to work!"

Getting to Know Earth, Wednesday

[sharp_man]

"I hope you all enjoyed getting to know France last week," Hannibal said. "I'm rather fond of it myself, having in part grown up there. I thought this week we might experience something a bit different. And something with a bit less walking," he added, smiling. "I hope you brought swimwear as you were handwavily reminded to."

He led them through the portal and to, "Hanauma Bay. It is a nature preserve in Hawaii." It was also not light out yet. "I understand the sunrise is spectacular, and we haven't even had to wake up early for it. We will also avoid too many tourists." Said as if you all clearly weren't. "If you care to snorkel, there are numerous fish here and it is also known for its green turtles. Enjoy."

He would probably swim after the sunrise.

"I also have towels if you've forgotten yours, and sunscreen. Please do not get burnt."

“Good morning,” Goose began when he started that week’s class, “this week we’re going to be continuing with talking about simple machines and we’ve already covered the lever, the wheel and axel and the pulley and now we’re going to move on to the wedge and we’ve already covered the lever, the wheel and axel and the pulley and now we’re going to move on to the wedge,”

“A wedge is a simple machine that is used to separate two objects through an application of force,” Goose explained, “and examples of wedges include knives, axes, forks and nails,”

“For today’s practical we’re going to be using different wedges to cut different materials,”
