Wave Project
Rube Goldberg Project-
In this project, the objective of our rube was to dump whipped cream on top a piece of pie. It starts off by catapulting a marble into a funnel, which makes the marble fall down the funnel, and land on a lever pushing the other lever go up, which rolls down another marble, the marble then hits a Jenga block connected to a string fall off a table, knocking another marble down a tube, which goes down two tubes, that then shoots out and hits a chain of dominoes, then hits a car that rolls down a ramp, then it hits another chain of dominoes, hitting another car down a ramp, the car hits a marble, the marble goes down a chain of tubes, the marble then hits a pivoting piece of wood, hitting a larger marble that then dumps the whipped cream that is placed in a cup, dumping the whipped cream on top a piece of pie.
Technology Experiment-
Description-
In this project, we asked the question, “Does abbreviating while texting affects students writing?” Initially, we went around the school asking 10 students of each grade, excluding Juniors, and 10 teachers, if they abbreviated while texting, and if it affects their writing skills. 20/40 people said yes, that abbreviating while texting does affect their writing skills
Reflection-
I have grown the most in time management, I use my time more wisely on the projects that I have worked on. At the beginning of the year I would wait almost last minute to gather data and finish my summaries/essays. Now I am using my time more wisely with projects and essays.
