Week 17

This week we did some experiments to show what objects do when going vertically and horizontally. We tested horizontally on the roof by measuring the distance a rocket would go. Back in the class room we took a look at if we tree a ball horizontally and then dropped the other ball vertically, would they hit at the same time. We did this multiple times and it did. This happened because of inertia. When we let go of the balls at the same time, the hit the floor at the same time. Both had same weight and size. Then we tried the different weight and different size and it still hit at the same time. We also tried distance. The did not change it either. We also got ready for our exams this coming week. We took an assessment as a class so we could fully understand what was going on. This helped out a lot.

Week 15

2 weeks ago we had a project that we presented. Mouse-Trap Cars. The goal was to make it go at least 3 meters. Most of use exceeded this. My car had some problems along the way. My biggest problem were the wheels. I had a hard time alining them correctly so they wouldn't curve and also keeping them on. But in the end this project turned out to be pretty good for me. My car went about 5 meters.
