Weekly Engineering Blog - Charity Fair (11|29|16 - 12|04|16

Summary: During this week I worked on the trifold for the Charity Fair. I also worked on the Cost & Profit and printed out the statistics. I also worked on the Instructables and descriptions.
EDP: I am currently on the Modify And Improve Design because we still have to add things to our trifold.

Weekly Blog Post - Asteroid Impact in "Alabraska"

Image
Summary:  During this week, I worked on a few worksheets for our Asteroid Impact which was in the imaginary state of Alabraska. When we did this, I calculated the general area for Alabraska, in which the length was 150 km and the width was 230 km, giving me a sum of 34,500 km 2 . After that, I compared the size of Alabraska to the size of the multiple caverns my group and I decided to establish underneath the surface of Alabraska. After that, I scaled my general map of Alabraska, including the military base, and then decided that our cavern was not large enough to house 10 million people. EDP - Generate Possible Solutions Over the course of the week, I generated possible solutions by completing a worksheet and making graphs to figure out how many people would be able to fit into our classroom. After that, I used the information to help me. I generated more possible solutions when I came up with different scenarios to help us decide on more areas in case our first...

Weekly Blog Post - Paper Mache

Image
Summary:  During this week, I put paper mache all over our box to represent our cavern (to make the glue, just put one part flour and one part water). I covered our box in saran wrap and Ziploc bags (we didn't have saran wrap at first) before dipping the torn up newspaper and then putting it on top of our box.  EDP: GENERATE POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS I generated possible solutions when our group didn't have saran wrap and so I improvised by tearing apart some Ziploc bags (like a psycho, I might add) and then plastering them onto the box with some tape.  Image Link: Ziploc Bags

Engineering Project Blog - Engineering Design Process (Own Arrangement)

Image
Summary:  During this week, we were told to make our arrangement of the Engineering Design Process that would be used for the rest of the school year and for future projects in our Engineering class. I learned that the Engineering Design Process didn't have to be in a specific order.  Backward-Looking: What process did you go through to produce this piece?   The process that I had to go through in order to produce this piece was first to identify the steps of the EDP in a video. After that was completed, I had to determine the S&EP practices along with pieces of text (S&EP - Science & Engineering Practices). Once that was out of my way, I got started on my Engineering Design Process arrangement. Then, I finished, When I finished, I revised my arrangement then decided to move some things around, just so it would make more sense. After that, I put in the link to this blog for the picture. Inward-Looking: What was especially satisfying to yo...
