Presentation Skills


It is very important for you to have presentation skills because in college you have to present in front of other students. When you are at some jobs, sometimes you have to present too. When you are applying at a job you have to be able to present yourself to the person that is hiring you without you feeling nervous. It is very important that you know how to present.

Did I learn?

I feel that I learned alot in my Engineering class because we did alot of vocabulary. We also did lots of cool projects. We built a bridge, a robot, and are now going to build a solar panel car. I loved this class it's too sad that we have to leave. I learned alot in this class. I also loved when we went to the robotics competition! I LOVE THIS ENGINEERING CLASS!!!!

Solar Powered Cars


Did you know there are solar panel cars? They are cars with all the commodities a regular car gives you with the advantage that these cars don't use fuel!! You save money on the gas and are helping save our planet!!! These cars get energy from the sun and convert it into energy for your car to move!!! Isn't this COOL!!! The more these cars can run is 37 mi. per hour. The way it works is in its battery, which gets powered by the sun. I know it runs slow but its cool.

Diadvantage for solar panels in houses

There are a few disadvantages of solar panels as I early mentioned in one of my posts. The main one for me is that pollution might affect the way the solar panels work. What if it is a rainy day? Do the panels work? That is the main disadvantage for solar panels, for me. Form you it might be another one. Take a look at my bottom post and see what is the greatest disadvantage for you.

Solar Power

There are many different opinions about solar power. Some good things about solar power are:
  • Solar panels give off no pollution
  • Solar energy produces electricity very quietly
  • Solar energy can be very efficient in a large area of the globe
  • Solar panels can be installed on top of rooftops
  • Your electricity bill will go down a lot
  • You become less dependent to the world's fossil fuels
Some bad things about solar power are:
  • The cost (above 1000)
  • Solar energy is only able to generate electricity during daylight hours
  • The weather can affect the efficiency of solar cells
  • Pollution can affect the efficiency of solar cells
In my opinion, I think solar power is awesome. It saves you money, yes its expensive but its something that will save you money. You are helping our earth against pollution.

Solar Panels

Have you heard about solar panels? If you haven't well I hope you learn something on this blog. Well solar panels are used for electricity. The can be installed at you house, your office, anywhere you want. These solar panel get energy from our sun. They transform solar energy into electrical or thermal energy. Instead of paying those high electricity bills you can buy these panels that will help save our planet and YOUR money! They will be expensive but are worth it!

Welcome

Hi, my name is Giselle. I created this blog for you to learn about how we can all help save our planet. I also did this blog as an assignment for my engineering class. I hope you enjoy looking at this blog because its for you to take action and help save our planet before its too late.
