My current STEAM class this term is called "Fuel". In this class, we are focusing on energy. We have learned a lot about different types of energies like coal, oil, and natural gas just to name a few. We revisited how to graph, find slope, y-intercept, and how to make predictions based on the given information. We also learned about elements atomic mass, weight, the symbol of an element in the periodic table, its group, and period. We had an FE guest come in and talk to us about fuel and energy. Our FE guest was from NicorGas company. She explained to us the different types of fuel, both renewable and non-renewable. She explained how we got gas and heat to our house.

To end the first unit of "Who Am I?"; my teacher has asked that every student produce a podcast. The podcast must include what I believe and what personal experience influence...
