Partner’s Name(s): Gunner, Michio

Day & Date: Wednesday, February 04, 2009

1. Briefly describe what you PERSONALLY accomplished today:

Today I accomplished:
-Learned how to use Google sketchup to model HTH, and how it can be used to show the angle of the sun and can help calculate solar panel efficiency
-Used maps to estimate the size and square footage of HTH

2. Briefly describe what your TEAMMATE(S) accomplished today:

-Worked with Google sketchup to see how we could use it to model HTH
-Talked about our revised experiment, and how we are going to use notch filters to test how each wavelength of light effects the solar panel

3. Briefly describe how you and your partner(s) ASSISTED each other today:
EX: How did you learn from each other, teach each other, or help each other?

Today we took an opportunity to learn a new piece of software, and also took an opportunity to make our project more feasible. By opting for the notch filter experiment, we hope to better understand solar panels, and how they work. By better understanding how the solar cell works today we will be better able to report on how the solar cell will improve tomorrow.
