For my paper airplane “project” I used 3 different designs, 2 were my own and 1 I found from the internet. The one from the internet was the best (not a surprise) so I did some more digging and it turned out that the plane I made was called the “Suzanne” and also happened to […]
Physical Properties of Skateboard Wheels

cutting the pipe and wire #7
So like I mentioned in post #6 I had to cut a five inch pipe with a saw which was easy but what was a little bit more time was measuring cutting and stripping the wires.

Flashlight project #5
we started a new unit recently, we are making waterproof flashlights for the divers to use when they were rescuing the thai soccer team and coach from the cave in thailand. The flashlight is made out of pvc pipe, which is extremely watertight when put together.
making my switches #4
Charlie and decided to work our switches together because we were a little bit behind compared to the rest of the class. We had done this thing we did my idea first and then his and on the last one we collaborated.
