Solar Energy with Mr. Lobovits

By the end of our three hour science marathon the class had looked into the resources required to make paper, cola, and yes, even gummy bears!  The thinking shifted into high gear when we began to ask if any technology can truly be green.  One student had a green engineer moment when she said (roughly), "If something makes more money that it costs to build and saves more resources than it takes to make it, I think that is a green technology."  We will continue to think like green engineers by analyzing the resources it takes to make technology and the impacts it has on environment in the coming weeks.
