Science February 23rd and 25t


Balloon rocket final!

On Tuesday our class worked on our balloon rocket designs. Trying to come up with the perfect designs for their categories(categories shown in previous post). The whole class was spent doing this.
Then on Thursday we tested our final design.


The competing teams were



Alix, Vance, and Cip competed for farthest and fastest.










Fabi,Gio, and Emilie competed for farthest and fastest












Noam,Kat, and Erik also competed for fastest and farthest.









Iva, Antonia, and Lara (who was absent Thursday) competed for going 4m forward and then come back









Bryce, Reza, and Viktor also competing for the direction changing rocket.





Unfortunately every team had some sort of bad luck throughout the testing.

Results!!!

Farthest and longest
were won by Cip, Vance ,and Alix by a fairly large margin. They were followed by Emilie, Gio, and Fabi. They were in turn followed by Noam, Kat, and Erik who experienced very bad luck

Forward and back was tied because neither teams design worked during the three rounds we were given.

After this Ms. D went over the lab conclusion which is due Tuesday, March 2nd.

Right before we left our Quests from last week were returned to us and we were either happy or sad about the grade.

The Next Scribe is Alix!!!!

Science Class on the 4th of February, 2010




Hey Everyone,
Yesterday we started our balloon rocket projects. Don't forget that this is a competition. There are three categories that we should try to go for. They are the fastest, the farthest, and the balloon that can go and come back in the opposite direction. On Tuesday we will be continuing this Challenge.
The pairs are (in case you forgot):
Reza, Bryce, and Viktor
Alix, Vance, and Cip
Laura, Antonia, and Iva
Fabi, Emilie, and Giovanna
Noam, Erik, and Kat
Something we did in class was that we checked the momentum math sheet #2. Momentum math sheet 2 was a sheet that you could have used the text book.
Don't forget we have a quest next Thursday. It is on forces NOT motion.
The next scribe is Vance
