Trenton and Hayden set-up a wind powered turbine to produce electricity while at the energy power and mechanics module. This station teaches them the different sources of power used such as wind, water, solar, nuclear, pneumatics, and hydraulics.
Dakota and Austin attempt to wire a parallel circuit trainer. They are currently working in the electricity module that deals with how electricity works and is wired. They are required to strip wire with wire strippers and assemble a working light, and reversing motor.
Caleb and Abby are assembling a solid fuel rocket. They are currently working in the rocketry module which teaches them the basics of space flights as well as rocketry and the laws of physics involved with each. They build a rocket that will be launched at the end of the quarter to see which had the best altitude and working parachutes.
