This morning we attended 2 different presentations in the iLab.  The first was with Green Calgary.  We started with planning and building our own mini landfill using the materials we had.  Our goal was to create a landfill that would not allow the leachate to contaminate the ground water in our model.  Many of us designed successful models.  We then learned about the components used in Calgary landfills and how similar our models were to actual designs.   

Our second presentation was with our Artist in Residence, Ms. Sarah.  She taught us about what a camera must have:  a shutter and an aperture.  We also learned that you can't take a picture without light.  We did an experiment where we exposed our eyes to different levels of light and we were able to see how our pupils changed with the amount of light in the room.  At the end we got to test our knowledge with a demonstration using props.

Reminder:  Tomorrow is pink shirt day.
