Class 2/16

     Today in class, we are going to put the microbeads into some ziplock bags. Hopefully, we won't get the beads all over us again. I might put some pictures on this post.  While we fill the bags, Anders, Collin, and David are going to be making a shelf for their container to put the flip and the Iphone inside of. When they finish that to the point where they can fit the camera phone inside, we will put the bags around them. Then, we will go and test it. But it all depends on if they finish their container. We might help out if they need to have someone to help out with something, but if not, then we can go get more of the microbeads out of the pillow and then fill the bags up even more.

BALLOON CAR:

I am in a group with Lyndsey and Emilee:



Our balloon car is basically three CDs for wheels and they are outlined with glue so that the wheels have traction. Also, its balloon has a box with a bottle cap with an opening at the top to keep the air flow constant. The ballon in a normal SDS balloon. The body has two sticks connecting on either side of the CD and then going back to between the other two CDs. The mass is 60 grams and the I do not know the acceleration or speed because we haven't recorded them yet.
