We viewed interest rate behavior on FRED (Federal Reserve Economic Data) site and Cameron did an excellent job calculating interest owed on a loan using two different interest rates.
In today's class, we did an experiment where we grew bacteria on a petri dish. We did this by collecting swabbings from a few different places around the school and then swabbing each petri dish. We will let the bacteria grow for a few days and make observations on a daily basis.
Topic 4 Systems of Linear Equations and Inequalities
Lesson Outline
4-3 Solving Systems of Equations by Elimination – We practiced solving systems of linear equations by elimination and proving that the sum of one equation and a multiple of the other produces a system with the same solutions as the original system. Then we practiced representing constraints with a system of equations in a modeling context.

Intro. to the French Revolution/and a Look at Danish Golfing Champs
Lesson Outline
Today Cameron learned that the French Revolution was inspired by the American Revolution. However, the events of the French & American Revolutions were vastly different! Cameron had heard of the guillotine. He quickly googled some things about the guillotine and we learned that France publicly executed murderous criminals in public up to the year 1977! Danish twenty-one year old, identical twins Nicolai & Rasmus Højgaard who are currently on the European golfing circuit and winning championships. We followed some of their match locations from Rome, Switzerland, to the United Arab Emirates. These young golfers aspire to play on the Ryder Cup and PGA Tours.
In today's class, we continued our discussion on cell structure and function, including the structure of eukaryotic cells, which delves into the many organelles the cell has. Cameron took notes that followed along with the material and was able to ask questions when he was unsure of something.
