Urbas - Science Week of May 14 - 20

Student this week in science class were able to participate in the use of the Starlab dome pictured in my classroom. The dome is essentially a tent that upon entering, students are in total darkness and are able to view the stars and constellations as if they were outdoors.

Pictured here are four students that participated this year in the Argonne/CNH solar car competition in Burr Ridge last Saturday. They built the car on the table and raced against teams from nineteen other schools in some tough competition. A fun time was had by all.
