Tests

1st test- Balloon Racer
David and I worked together on our ballon racer.  Our balloon car was made out of bread, sticks, and CD's.  It only went 6 feet which was a bit of a disappointment and we didn't get the best looking like I thought we would.  Overall it was a good learning experience of how balloons work and how they have an impact on everything
2nd test- Balloon Into Space
I worked on the logistics team for the Balloon into Space but also helped out the winning container team and helped a little bit with the winning parachute.  I thought I had some good ideas and helped out with the logistics team but Will and Connor did a great job with what was going to happen.  Although The Balloon into Space didn't work as well as we had hoped for, we did learn a lot
3rd test- Magnet Car
At first I worked on my magnet car alone.  I didn't do great with a time a little over 50 seconds but then Jack gave me some ideas and he helped me fix my car to where I could pull it and it went very fast.  I then adopted Jack into our group.  My best time was 30 seconds and I also beat Collin and Anders.  Although I lost to ZAG I think I had a very good car.
Teaching and Lesson Plan- Wright Brothers
I did a 6 slide Powerpoint on the Wright Brothers, which contained their biography, Aeronautical Research, Launch, and Legacy.  My powerpoint was very good and I think it contained very good information.  I thought that I learned me that class real dern good.  Most of them did well on their quiz, and then we ate Chicken Mini's.  My lesson plan contained most of my powerpoint and I thought it was a good summary of what I did

T Payne Project

I would like to have finished my T Payne project today but I can't really play love the way you lie in a peaceful library.  Today I am just working on My Blog Post and can't do much else other than think of how the easiest way to do the project is.  I am sorta bored

Thursday

This thursday I made a checklist of what we had, didn't have, had figured out, needed to figure out, and places to call.  First we have the weather balloon, handwarmers, helium, iphone, and a flip.  We need the container and parachute now.  We will launch it from SDS, and depending on the wind patterns it will go 20-40 miles away.  We figured out what we will use in the ballon and where to call.  Today went pretty good for me

Balloon Car project

           David and I did this balloon project together.  Our balloon racer was made out of Cd's for the wheels, wine corks and skewards for the axels, and a big piece of bread for the body.  Our race car went 5 meters the first time and 6 meters a few times after that.  I think ours should get most creative.
Average speed: 1.4 feet per second
Mass: 205 grams
Acceleration: 0.0780 ft per second
Net force: 1.281 grams per second
Materials: Cd's, corks, wooden skewards, balloons, and bread
