7 Years Later: How Does 3D Printing Filament Last Outdoors?
7 Years ago I started a experiment to see how 3D printing materials last outdoors. This is important as some filaments claim to be biodegradable. Other materials are popular to use outside for gardening projects or other uses. After 7 years of exposure in the Colorado weather, I had to retire this experiment. This report highlights each filament material from PLA, PETG, TPU and other interesting filaments!The companion YT video is now up HERE. You can have your STEM class test this further with

Uses of Statistics Essay
Students often learn statistics without any concept of why certain statistical methods were formulated, and how they are applied in different fields. I use this essay as the introduction to statistics - before anything is taught, so that while they are learning they have prior information to pull from, and a context for studying.I make this a two page paper - the first page explains what the field does, using citation, and the second page writes about how the field uses statistics - also using c
