Laguna’s Lessons

I have been reading up on some of the common household appliances that make use of the heat technology we are reading in Chapter 10.  Some are very challenging to explain but I think it is important to be able to apply the concepts we learn to actual real life experience. 

Some interesting appliances are the toaster (how does it know when to pop the toast out?), the thermostat (why does the heater turn on and off throughout the day?), the refrigerator (will leaving the door open cool the room down?) and the coffee maker (my favorite!) 

I thought it would be fun to research these together and then share what we learn using some kind of online tool.  Our options are as follows.  Share by making blog comments, add to a mind map on Thinkature, or create a new Pageflakes page.  I can’t wait to work together on this.  Check out the links and leave me a comment.
