Problem Solving through Science! | Tuesday, 3rd period

"Good afternoon," Miguel said. He smiled lazily and waved at everybody. "We're back from vacation now, so we should probably get to work, right?"

He shrugged. "Eventually. I'm still pretty relaxed. So, this week, let's work with water. You all should've gotten a pretty good indication of how waterfalls work, right? So, make one. Extra credit if you make the water flow up instead of down."

He paused.

"And sure, extra credit for traveling on it, too. Go for it; we've got safeties here." He was looking at you, Beaker.

Enjoy, class.

Beaker!

Beaker made a waterfall! And he launched himself from it!

It wasn't as fun as the ones in Iceland. Hmm. He wrote down carefully what he thought was different between the two experiences--maybe the adrenaline rush wasn't as high without the dean around?

Maybe it was the lack of actual possibility of death in the Danger Shop.

Miguel waited until Beaker was back on dry land and done with his notes. "A deal's a deal. What do you want for class next week?"

He was probably going to regret this.

"Meep!" Beaker said, adjusting his tie before launching into his presentation. "Meep meep meep meep meep meep!"

Electic sledge hammer. Sure.

Miguel had at least been hoping for some visuals. As it was...he had no idea what he'd be agreeing to.

"...What the hell, why not? Okay, there's two options - either get me a demonstration and a write up before next week, and I'll present it, or come up with something your classmates can try to make or do, and I'll let you teach it. Which do you want?"

Re: Class activity

"Meep meep meep mee!" Beaker said, holding up one fuzzy finger, darting off, and then returning dragging an electric sledge hammer.

"Meeeeee!"

Re: Class activity

Miguel looked at the thing and nodded slowly. "Oookay. Sure, why not. How about a class on making more efficient...what, wall-breakers?"

Re: Class activity

[meepmeepmeep]

"Meep," Beaker agreed.

He was absolutely getting chased through town by this discount Dalek.

Re: Class activity

That was entirely his own lookout.

"Great." Miguel gave him a thumbs up. "See you next week, then. Come with ideas."
