Dr Galapagos has been
hard at work.

I'm not working on ftexploring pages right now.

What has been done.

1. Solar Energy

I did a series of pages on insolation as the first part of a large series on solar energy but now I feel like I need to rethink that idea and am working on some other things (see below)

Anyway, "insolation" is a measure of how much solar radiation a place receives. In this first batch of pages we detail the various factors that influence how sunny it is outside your window and we also introduce some basic insolation concepts.

2. Biology

I also did a few pages about basic biology concepts, starting with a page on the definition of life (what living things on our planet are made of and how they behave) and a couple of pages on cellular metabolism (how cells turn "raw materials" into energy and their own "bodies").
