I did not expect my Automata to work, and it didn’t. I had to pull the top piece out and re glue it back into shape to make it more slim, Then put it back in its original spot. Now It works great. I did Cam A which only had one beam at the top moving up and down. Cam B in the other hand had two. I didn’t wanna deal with that. That would eventually take me four hours, so I did Cam A. Overall this was a fantastic outcome for this project.
For this project we had to make a truss using toothpicks. For the connectors I cut up carrots so that the toothpicks could stick into the carrots and make my truss. It lasted three books but once i put the heavier book on the truss collapsed. It was fun building the truss and using the carrot.
In this project we made our own catapults out of wood sticks bottle caps and tape. This project was very fun because I not only got to make a catapult but I got to shoot a piece of gum out of it. What I did was cut 6 popsicle sticks in half to make the fulcrum using four the effort using 1 and the base using 1. The bottle cap held the load. The load was a piece of gum like I said before. In conclusion I had a good crafty time building this catapult.
Computer Science is changing everything. From people not having to spend hours building a car when a machine can do it in 30 minutes. When you can bring a million plus, people joy with something on a computer. When you can put something out there with a click that has never been seen before but can changes everybody’s lives. The ability to keep someone safe from miles away. This is computer science, and how it’s changing everything.
Making my Capstone slideshow was my favorite part because I got to put in the images. I always love putting pictures because you can get very creative with it and go with your own flow.
Also following my script was easy. Some images were hard to find because they weren’t on the slideshow google so I had to search somewhere else.
In the end everything was put together perfectly! And my capstone came out just how I wanted it and I think everyone will love it.
My Capstone is about dreaming. I chose this topic because I was always afraid of having bad dreams and them being scary.
Researching and learning more about this topic can help me know how not to have bad dreams and what might cause a bad dream. Also it is very interesting to me to learn how dreams might work and process in your brain.
I chose this over youth gaming, another interest of mine, because it really makes me wonder and makes me want to dive deeper into it.
Although dreaming is just a hallucination, it can be very real.
Martin Luther King is a man who changed the way we live. Martin Luther King Jr. was an American Christian activist who became the most well known public speaker and leader in the Civil Rights Movement from 1955 until his death in 1968. Born in Atlanta, Georgia, he is best known for advancing civil rights through nonviolence. His inspiration was Mahatma Gandhi. Mahatma Gandhi was born and raised in a Hindu family in coastal Gujarat, western India, Gandhi was trained in law at the Inner Temple, London. Enough about Gandhi, let’s talk about MLK. I think that he is a great person to have the courage to go up there and talk about something that many people back then can get very angry at. You dont know what could have happend during his speech. Martin Luther King has given people freedoms that never would have been imagened of by white people.
Before the launch we did interviews with each other and made clips. My group launched first and right after that we were clinometer readers. This means that we saw how high the rocket went. In our launch I was the countdown master which means that I count down from 10 then say release. I really liked my job which was way better than what I had before. After our launch I was really happy about the results.
We started designing our rocket remembering Newton’s Three Laws of Motion which again helped us design the rocket. Mrs. Edwards said that we could change one thing about our rocket and we chose to change our fins because last time our fins were to big and bulky. When we made our fin template we made it skinny and tall because it can cut through the air so much easier and better.
When we started building we made the body first like usual. We took the small PVC again and then rolled the paper around it. Next we traced around the paperclip holder and then folded it a certain way to make it acone. We taped it to the rocket then used measuring tape to determine were the fins will go and how far away they will be from each other. We each had a turn to hot glue the fins to the rocket. It was fun because we changed our rocket and got to build it a different way.
