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.
My team’s name is the Rocketeers we all settled on that after wanting to be the Four Rocketeers, but that’s too cringy. We had to make our inspiration board with quotes, images, diagrams and more. We had some argument but otherwise we were great. We chose the image, printed it, cut it and then glued it. After we finished, we started designing our rocket. We designed it then redesigned it because of Newton’s Three Laws of Motion. Newton’s three laws of motion are Every object in a state of uniform motion will remain in that state of motion unless an external force acts on it. Force equals mass times acceleration [ ]. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Building our rocket was fun we made our fins fat and short. We spent a lot of time on our nose cone because we kept messing it up and destroying it. We all had a chance to hot glue the fins to the body. Oh and the body was so cool. We made it in such a different way than I thought. We put the PVC pipe on the table and rolled paper around it then taped itBut when our rocket was done, it was amazing.
We made our nose cone small and pointy because we think it can cut through the air. All of the body’s of everyone’s were the same. For our second rocket will will do a lot of work on the fins. We think we are going to make it five inches tall and 2 inches wide because are fins were too big and slowed the rocket down and didn’t cut enough air because our fins were three inches long and three wide. The launch was fun, except for the fact that I had to be the pumper which kida sucked but it’s fine. Our rocket went 119 feet in the air and as I watched it go up my eyes got watery because it was so high. My group and I were happy about our results.
