Controlled

 

Our controlled plant is doing perfect. It didn’t turn a weird color or die, it’s green and has yellow flowers with buds in it. The tallest one is  4 ½ inches tall and the smallest one is 2 ½ inches. It also has 4 leaves.

 

Manipulated

 

It died! It’s leaves are crumbled up and brown. The steam is lite green. All of them were drooping down. If you held it up it would be 2 ½ inches tall for the tallest one and if you did that for the smallest one it would be 1 inch.

 

I think this happened to the manipulated one because in garden we plant lettuce, but when we get it it’s already kinda grown and I think that it was like that because it was already growing in a greenhouse in natural light so it would be better. So with our planet likes artificial light better.

My groups final idea was that we would put 2 strip magnets on the car and 2 strip magnets on the track. We put them on the very bottom sides of the car and did the same thing on the track. The properties of magnets helped Rachel G and I do it because if we didn’t know about it we would probably make them attract not repel.

We failed alout it was very stressful. One of the times my partner and I failed is when we didn’t line up the strip magnets on the car were not lined up with the strip magnets on the track so they stuck to the sides of the strip magnets on the track.

We learned that you need to think about EDP because if you don’t you would just put something down and it might not work so you would just waste material.

Working with a partner is better than being alone because you can combine your ideas and it can make it better.

Our trains used magnets to repel so they would float above the tracks. There are magnets on the track and on the car.Once the car could float above the tracks we would give it a push and it would glide across the track. Our car had strip magnets on the track and the car.

 

My car didn’t work on friday. I had hoped it would work on our first try because no other class had gotten it on their first try. I also thought it would work because Mrs. Mangan said we were close. After we ran out of time I realised that the strip magnets were not lined up so it would afect the magnets from repelling instead it would stick to the sides of the track.

 

I liked working with Rachel because she understood what I was thinking and she didn’t argue with me so we got a lot done. I think we will get it on our second try because we know what we did wrong.

During our class time in the computer lab, Mr. Casal showed us a video about the history of typography. After watching this video I learned that Roman type wasn’t the first type, Black Letter was, also I learned that Friedrich Guttenburg  made Black Letter. I like the stile because it was intaresting that Barrett-Forrest yous’d Stop Motion Anamation.

Here is the video we watched:
