today me ad my chums gemma and alaina did the motr thing. we hated it. we put a wire on a battery and a pin was sucked thorugh. it was boring. we also connected a circle wire to the battery and two pins. how furiously awesome. as gemma said we were WARRRIORRRSSSS

sound

today jackie and i mesured the power frequency on the computer. we put wire attached to a pencil on the end of baterys and measurd the frequency for 4 winds. it was really interesting to see how the power fluctuated. te wire on the the battery got really really hot. it was cool. we never figured out how to make a speaker. it was really complicated

body force

today we learned about excersize in space. first took our height and weight and then we measured our heart weight. ten i had to run around for 2 minuets and then i took my heart rate. in space u always ave to make sure you excersize so your not fat and weak back on earth

creating craters

today i worked with kimmy to creat craters by dropping a golf ball from a certain number of inches into a pan of flour. it was really cool and we discovered that the higher your ball was dropped from teh more it sped up, therefore causing a bigger reaction/crater. it was pretty fun but very messy. we had to do three tries on each thing to make sure there was no human error. after we finished measuring things we dropped from different heights such as 36 inches and that made the deepest crater. dropping from 5 inches made a very shallow and low impact crater.

magnets

today we did a magnetic lab. we were supposed to place the magents about 2.5 inches away and then drop a ball so they would collide and another ball wuld fly off the end. sort of like an abicus. It was really hard to disconnect the magnets because they were stuck together so tightly. e never actually got to see the end result becuse the magnets were crazy stong and we couldnt get them apart! but it was really fun and i cant wait to see another group do it. it seems like an interstgin reactio

mini culmination

today i made a basket to go ontop of ur robot to catch the parashoot. It was really fun to make and it fits ontop of our robtot. Anja also finally got a robot to work. she was very very very VERYYYY happy. i also made a basket for my fellwo classmate em because her group didnt make her one. our group works very well together. Today we accomplished alot of things. it was really dun to have amajor breakthough the robots finally they wored. we are happy. Were doing a run through first thing tomorw.

robots

today we tried to program a robot to follow a the back line and move away from the light and go in a loop. it workd for a little while and then it got off trrack and went all over the place. its not as hard as it seems and its fun to program songs into the robot. its really hard to ake sure it stays on track though
