Survival

Today we learned a lot about survival. We even did survival activities of back then and the future. I learned that one of the most important items for survival is oxygen, food and water. Without any of these things you probably wouldn't be able to survive. We also went to the stem lab and built moon habitats. We learned that moon habitats are for humans when they land on the moon. The moon habitats that we built today were made out of newspaper but some of them were very sturdy and firm and some -my group's included- were kind of flimsy and they were hard to stay put.After each individual...

Tuesday, August 27, 2010

Our second day as Davinci Divas and we explore the many habitates of each animal we saw. The princible we learned today was Sfumato. The whole purpose was to watch a show about planets and galexies in the planetarium. Most od the show was about the predictions scientists today have of two galaxies colliding in to one. Our adventer moved on as we learned about there habitats. We discovered more and more. The lesson reminded me of a book I read, Invissible Man by Ralph Ellison and he comes to his own ideas of the world an d trusting himself and himself only....

Divas visiting the art. (:

On July 29th, we visited the Worcester Art Museum. (;

The artist was untrained and didn't go to school, since his living was drawing buildings, designing them...

The SIM stands for Simutation. They have life like manniquens that can simulate situations for students in the medical feild. They can take blood, take IV, and take blood pressure like they could a normal person. They could really do anything they could a normal patient, but without the risks of doing it on a real person.

They had 5 simulation manniquens. One full sized adult male, one full sized child...

Davinci Diva's making CEV's!!

To start off, on thursday 29th 2010 we went to the STEM lab to design and build CEV's. CEV's are Crew Exploration Vehicle's, relating to the Space topic and Leonardo topic, it was a great mixture of works. I personally thought this particular activty was truly interesting.My group and I came up with a sphere-like shaped rocket that gave viewers eyes a twic, as in it was unique from others.But what REALLY gave it a shiny effect was the tin-foil covering the outside of the CEV. Also not only that our CEV had a tin-foil layer but we even added a heat isolation layer to keep the heat in...

Divas In Shining Armor

When you hear the word, "diva", you must instantly think : "sassy,sweet,fashionable,independent". Obviously, the word "armor" doesn't come to mind at first. Neither does "renissance,medival, or gothic". It's actually far from it. But the DaVinci Divas of this very Girls Inc. were learning about the other side of the typical story of the damsel in distress and the knight in shining armor, Friday, July 30th. We learned about the typical medival male behind a suit of armor. 9 times out of 10 it was a particularly rich kid from the 14th century, showing off all of Daddy's money. Some of them...
