1- Canoe parts names: Port is the left-hand side of the boat when you are facing the front (bow) of the boat, Starboard is the right-hand side. The bow is the front and the stern is the rear.
Some canoes have identical seats – but some canoes have the bow seat with legroom between the seat & the bow deck. The stern seat is right next to the stern deck.
Thwarts hold the sides of the canoe together & apart at the same time. There are usually 2 thwarts. The yoke is in the very middle of the canoe where the canoe can be placed on someone’s shoulders to be carried / portage. It is usually (slightly) notched to bend around your neck and rest more of the weight on your shoulders.
2- Canoe responsibilities: Who drives and who provides propulsion? Who is the captain? Will you be a team working together?
3- What additional equipment do you need to go on a canoe trip? (think safety)
Harry Truman said this about politics: “If you want a friend in Washington, DC; get a dog.”
4- If you were spending a night on a river/canoe trip; how would you pack your pack differently than a backpacking hiking trip?
5- Resistors are electrical components that oppose the flow of current. We use them to control how much current flows in a circuit. The higher the resistance, the lower the current.
Most resistors have a fixed value, specified in ohms. But some are designed to be variable. You can change the resistance of the resistor by turning a shaft or sliding a control back and forth. Variable resistors, also called potentiometers, are often used to allow users to adjust the way a device operates. Think volume control or light dimmer.
