SEEK Lego Team Presents to School Board




The SEEK Lego team did an excellent job of presenting to the School Board. They explained to the board about their Lego Robotic competition they were involved in and how they designed and programed their robot. Our team did an excellent job of presenting and sharing with the board. A special thanks goes out to the parents that supported the students and to Mrs. Anderson for sponsoring the team.




The Lego team is excited about getting to participate again next year at the competition; however, they explained to the board that they will have to get a new kind of robot to compete next year. The Lego robot they had for this year is out dated and will have to be replaced with a newer version.

Super Hero Trivia Questions



1. One of the very first superheroes was Superman, the Man of Steel, and one of his most exciting powers is his ability to fly. What's the name of the natural force that keeps ordinary people down to earth?

Magnetism
Electricity
Gravity
Tidal waves

Congratulations to Kole Gardner for having the correct answer and for having his name pulled from the drawing.

2. After Peter Parker was bitten by a special spider, he gained many of the spider's abilities and became Spider-Man. What type of animal is a spider?

Insect
Crustacean
Mammal
Arachnid

A spider might be hairy, but that doesn't make it a mammal! It's an arachnid, not an insect; the easiest way to tell is that it has eight legs,not six.

Congratulations to Bryce Myers for having the correct answer and for having his name pulled from the drawing.

3. Magneto's amazing powers come from his ability to change and use magnetic fields. Which of these things would be affected the most by Magneto's powers?

A steel paper clip
A pair of pants
A piece of paper
A large diamond

Magnetic fields are very powerful, but they work best on certain types of things. Iron responds very strongly to magnetism, and since steel contains a lot of iron, those paper clips will be easy for Magneto to control!

Congratulations to Noah Woodward for having the correct answer and for having his name pulled from the drawing.

4. From Violet ("The Incredibles") to the Invisible Woman ("the Fantastic Four"), many superheroes have the ability not be seen. When Violet is visible, how do people see her?

A. Violet gives off light (like a light bulb) which goes into their eyes.
B. Light Bounces off of Violet and into their eyes.
C. Light shines from their eyes onto Violet
D. They don't really ever see her; they just think that they do.

This is why you see better when there's a lot of light around! Light hits objects and people and bounces into your eyes, allowing your brain to figure out what you're looking at.

Congratulations to Levi Fulford for having the correct answer and for having his name pulled from the drawing.


5.Daredevil is blind, but he uses sound to "see" the shapes of objects, like sonar. What other things use sonar to "see"?

bees and cell phones
bats and submarines
electric eels and ambulances
eagles and television sets

Congratulations to Thaniel Heath for having the correct answer and for having his name pulled from the drawing.

6. The Flash runs very, very quickly, but according to science there's something that's even faster. What is the fastest thing in the universe?

a supernova explosion
sound
light
our galaxy

Albert Einstein's Theory of Relativity says that nothing can move faster than the speed of light in a vacuum (like space). Luckily, this still leaves room for the Flash to move very, very fast: the speed of light is 186,000 miles per second! Sometimes, the Flash is shown running even faster than light, but even comic book writers can't get the science right all the time.

Congratulations to Logan Tafoya for having the correct answer and for having his name pulled from the drawing.

7. The amazing powers of the X-Men come from genetic mutations. Frequent mutations are a very important part of what process in biology?

Extinction
Evolution
Food Chain
Breathing

Congratulations to Nick Mikusak for having the correct answer and for having his name pulled from the drawing.

8. The Incredible Hulk gained his powers after a blast from a radioactive bomb he had built. Do radioactive objects ever appear in nature?

Yes
No

You might think of radioactivity as coming from a nuclear bomb or power plant, but even bombs and power plants use radioactive elements (like uranium) from nature. A radioactive element will decay into a lighter element, giving off energy.

Congratulations to Jenna Littlejohn for having the correct answer and for having his name pulled from the drawing.
