In small groups in class, we performed a classical physics experiment, which involved mass and pulley, to test gravitational potential energy and theory of conservation of energy. Our version of the experiment used a robot to apply the force on the mass. The robot with its sophisticated sensors allowed us to record not only the […]

My Time Management Technique
First things first… 1. Make a list of things to do… That being said, you actually have to check the list, so it is better if you have it on you all the time. What really helps is to set up notifications on the phone to remind you of what you are supposed to do. […]
Presidential Candidates on Climate Change
Climate change is something we hear about every day and yet still not many of us take notion of it. Those, who do, divide into three main camps: believers, who believe that action should be taken; believers, who either count on others to take action first or believe that they are minority and their contribution […]
My Experience Working with Robots
Hands-on experience is always good, especially in science classes, where it sometimes can be hard to tie the theory with the practice. In this sense, experiments with robots are especially helpful to see the application of engineering, programing, and physics rules. The robot experiments are always exciting and entertaining, while at the same time challenging. […]
GMO: Good or Bad?
We live in a dynamic world, where changes occur every day. Some of them like our transition from coal to uranium and petroleum are more obvious, and yet some changes, which occur on a molecular scale, are hidden from our eyes. The evolution, which is another more common name for our DNA mutation, has never […]
