An unusual no-new-tool episode.

Norm described a triangle with three equal sides as an isosceles triangle, however he was really intending to convey the special case of an isosceles triangle having three equal sides, which is an equilateral triangle. Obviously a triangle having three equal sides also has two equal sides (the definition of an isosceles triangle), so he was technically correct, but that wasn't what he wanted to say. This also happened in a Seinfeld episode.

The safety speech included video of a ripping operation with a push stick.

Field trip was to Antiques Orchard, Westford, Massachusetts.
