Computer Lab

              In computer lab, everyone discovered new and exciting careers that either fit their wanted annual salary or fit their interests. We could even look at people who did the jobs that we already knew of and want, or maybe wanted now, to do. The best part was, however, the jobs I love and want were able to fit my supposed annual salary and interests. I learned that there are way more jobs than what I originally thought, all with varying duties and salaries, even if they don't necessarily fit my interests. :)

Science Lab

              In Science Lab the class either saved bears, or, well, killed them by pollution. We learned that the more pollution there is, the more bears and other animals that are susceptible die because of it. Everyone started with ten healthy bears and two pollutants. Every five generations, we would start over and add one more pollutant. A lot of the bears died when the number of pollutants increased to four. This taught me that pollution has a bigger impact on the environment than I originally had thought.
