Lesson Plan for Making a Speaker Laboratory ©1995 The Regents of the University of California by Regan Lum Introduction: A speaker is a device that converts an electronic signal into sound. The speaker you will build (see figure 1) consists of a Styrofoam or paper cup, a coil of wire, a permanent magnet, and a signal source. The electronic signal goes through the coil and creates a varying electromagnet. figure 1 Purpose: In this laboratory, you will explore how a speaker works. Materials: 1 permanent magnet 2 feet of wire 1 pencil tape or glue 1 Styrofoam or paper cup 1 signal source (tape player) 1 plug with alligator clips for tape player Procedure: Assemble material as shown in figure 1. Leaving about 10 centimeters on the end, wrap the wire around a pencil to make a wire coil and tape or glue it to the bottom of the cup.

A Vintage portrait with Grace | Hi everyone! Hope you had a lovely weekend. Grace and I got to work on one of the art projects for my online art class this weekend and it was so much fun. The assignment was to create a vintage inspired portrait on a small piece of canvas. Grace was anxious to start and dived right in! I love that about creating with kids this young – they have no fear! She, of course, finished before me. Soon we both had our canvas’ prepared…covered in a patchwork of vintage papers and doilies. I showed Grace examples of Jeanne’s original work so she could envision the outcome of the project. image via jeanneoliverdesigns We will be attaching these canvas’ to vintage door plates or escutcheons, just as seen above. Here is Grace’s finished portrait… When I asked her to tell me the story behind this portrait she said, ” She is a princess, waiting in the garden outside her castle for her prince to come.” Here are the first steps of my process…sketching in my girl… Hope you all have a beautiful day! xo,

Junebug's Jacket and a Heidi & Finn Pattern Giveaway! Heidi and Finn has graciously offered to share a FREE pattern with two lucky readers--more info below! First of all, thanks to all of you who weighed in on the choosing of fabric for Junebug's jacket. The general consensus was to use the mustard fabric as the lining fabric--which I was totally on board with! I shared before that the pattern was from the Etsy shop Heidi and Finn and boy, was it a good pattern. First, let me share Junebug's Jacket. The closure is supposed to be a big fabric bow, but Junebug is not the biggest fan of big bulky pieces on her clothing so I adapted to suit her pickiness. Love it, right? You probably want to make one too, huh? 2. The giveaway will be open from now until Saturday, September 24th at midnight E.S.T. Yay for giveaways! P.S.
Portrait of an INFP As an INFP, your primary mode of living is focused internally, where you deal with things according to how you feel about them, or how they fit into your personal value system. Your secondary mode is external, where you take things in primarily via your intuition. INFPs, more than other iNtuitive Feeling types, are focused on making the world a better place for people. Their primary goal is to find out their meaning in life. INFPs are highly intuitive about people. Generally thoughtful and considerate, INFPs are good listeners and put people at ease. INFPs do not like conflict, and go to great lengths to avoid it. INFPs are flexible and laid-back, until one of their values is violated. When it comes to the mundane details of life maintenance, INFPs are typically completely unaware of such things. INFPs do not like to deal with hard facts and logic. INFPs have very high standards and are perfectionists. INFPs are usually talented writers. Check us out on Facebook Careers for INFP Growth
