Blog Post Final

The way how we came up with our idea is we were thinking about what we like. One thing that we like is soccer so were making a volley ball go into a soccer net! Leo and I were originally going to make our Rube Goldberg go an turn on the xbox. It was to difficult to make a ball go up into the air and turn on the xbox console. Another difficult problem was that shooting a nerf gun at a book does not always fall down, so we had to shoot the nerf gun at the top of the book because that’s were it’s more light. Even before the project we were going to have to decide who we were going to work with. We decided pretty easy that we were going to work together on this project. Our siblings did this so we already planned on doing this together. One really annoying thing is setting the materials up again and again. This video gave me and Leo some ideas.

We knew that this was to challenging, so we took some of their materials and put it into ours. One material we used was dominos and another one was a ping pong ball. We are having so much fun with this project and we are going to make it the best it could be!!!

Leo and I have a lot of ideas of what we will do next. We are very sure that it will work no matter how many tries it takes us. The only thing that might be annoying is to put everything back up again. We are almost done and we are very sure of all the materials we are going to use now. Leo and I are also making a slideshow. We are also going to make it 12 steps, not a lot of repetitive steps.

Leo and I are about to do our next steps. We are going to stack dominoes up a box and then hit a marble and go down the box and then something else will happen. Leo and I decided that I will shoot the bullet and the starting books and Leo will say whatever step it is. We are going to make everything equal.

Leo and I are going to make a slideshow on we video. We are almost half way done and we are playing again on Thursday, we are ready to do our next steps. I am going to watch some videos on Rube Goldberg. I can not wait to get deeper into this project. Leo and I are going to try to follow our sketch completely.

Rube Goldberg Post #2

Leo and I are almost halfway through our Rube Goldberg. We decided that we are going to do about 12 steps. We have a lot of experience because we have siblings that have done this before. Our siblings were very successful. We are going to be even better. Our machine is going to turn on the xbox console. We are going to make it a real awesome reaction. We are doing it at Leos house. We have already finished our sketch.

Rube Goldberg

Rube Goldberg is so much fun. I can not wait to get even farther in this project. Leo and I are having a blast. We have already done our first step. We are knocking down books first, and that’s all we know for right now.

We are making our Rube Goldberg go from the attic to the basement and turn on the xbox console. We are planning on making it 15 steps. We are going to try to make it epic.

Rocketry Reflection

Rocketry Reflection

I learned a lot about arrow dinamics. Also I learned a lot about drag.  One thing I learned about building our rocket is you need and should not use heavy materials but not to light materials.  You should use cardboard I think because it is not to light or to heavy.

It really helped having more than one launch. It helped because if you messed up than you know what you did wrong and could fix it. If you messed up you would want to mess up on the 1st launch so you could fix the mistakes for the other 3. I’m really happy that my group and me did really well and we even got over 40 degrees for our first launch. Also none of us really had experience.

I learned a lot of group collaboration throughout this project. I loved doing it with all of my friends to. It was a great learning experience.  If I could do it again the only thing I would fix is make a thick body for the 2nd launch. I loved the group part about rocketry and it was all so much fun.

Construction

Construction

On September 6, 2017 the basketball courts have been closed. Everyone is mad about it. No one can play basketball.

Aviv Brav in 5c says that “it is outrages because we are in 5th Grade we have more privileges. Aviv is an all star player and he needs to practice and he and everyone else loves the game of basketball. Aviv also said that at least we have a new playground.” People want to play the game and the construction people said that it will be done hopefully by April and basketball players want to play and now there is nowhere to play. How would you feel if you couldn’t play basketball at school.

October 13, 2017 1:45 pm. The 5 groups were shooting rockets. The first launch was the NAJC, then second was the Da Humble Rockets, third was the Fantastic Flyers, fourth the Space Jamers and finally the Shooting stars. They got onto the field ready to launch if they weren’t up they would be on the sidelines. The first group is ready to launch. Josh presses the button nothing happened. They go again nothing happened again. They go off to the sidelines they failed. Mr. Josh Potters says “there were 2 reasons why it did not work. 1 reason is that the nose cone was not on properly, also They put the rocket to far down on the launch pad. Da Humble Rockets are up now they are on the field, getting ready for their launch Nate pressed the button it went straight up in the air it was amazing they succeeded. All of the other groups succeeded but one. Lilly’s group failed “she said that at least it went a little bit in the air. Did you ever launch a rocket.
