    On the podcast this week, Richie Leahey talks about building cars for science olympiad and a prank he played on a friend. Science Olympiad – Friction Car Experiment Objective: Students will analyze which surfaces produce the most friction. For this experiment, each group of students designed and built their own wooden cars. Then we set up ramps in the classroom created using different materials. The students sent their cars down each ramp measuring the distance that it traveled. Once the students completed their initials tests, they had to come up with ideas to make the cars travel even further down each ramp. Then we tested their theories using their cars again.

I start off the podcast talking about the launch of the Nintendo Switch and my fears that it may not arrive during launch weekend. Even though it is only February, allergies are starting to rile up and bother me so I apologize for some breathing and sniffling throughout the podcast. Preauthorized charges on credit cards are causing Best Buy pre-orders of the Nintendo Switch to be cancelled. I talk about gas station locking my debit card by not cancelling the pre charge and charging the actual amount for gas on top of the preauth charge. Then talk about the credit card fraud protection preventing me from making an overseas purchase. The charge was still cancelled after calling the company to get the charge through. Talk about LittleBigPlanet 2 and then talking about Little Big Planet 3 and how there was no direction in the game or story.

    Richie Leahey tests out mobile recording in this episode due to traveling over the weekend and the Super Bowl. He discusses his issue with Resident Evil 5 and talks about his first video editing project. Science Olympiad – Erosion Experiment Objective: Students will observe how the type of soil affects how much erosion can occur. For this experiment, we took aluminum foil and used it to line narrow plastic bins. The bins were placed at a downward angle that led into another plastic bin at the bottom, sort of like a water slide. The plastic bin at the bottom collected the excess water as it went through the soil. We compared different soil types from the area, collecting four samples of each. Once the slides were created, we poured a cup of water in the soil at the top of the slide and observed it as it made its way to the bottom.
