Egg Drop Challenge

for the past week i have been working with Jack Foley and we create a design with suspensions that had the egg suspended in the middle of our design and our design was very successful until we decided that we wanted to try to make it break and we succeeded in doing so.  We also were able in the proccess of creating our design to ear a total of 27 acheivements which are:
1.       create sketch 1
2.       create sketch 2
3.       create sketch 3
4.       decision matrix
5.       gernate list
6.       ensure material
7.       fit in printer box
8.       hit butcher paper
9.       inside thrid ring
10.   second ring
11.   first ring
12.   hit bullseye
13.   weights less than 500
14.   weighs less than 300
15.   weighs less than 200
16.   took less than ½ second
17.   less than 2 seconds
18.   didn’t break
19.   didn’t break
20.   didn’t break
21.   model on CAD
22.   arithmetic- you can weigh your beginning model of the material s and subtract it from the weight that you want to see how much weight you have left
23.   Geometry you can measeure the angles from you design to make sure that it is up straight and not leaning to one side.
24.   Algrebra- we got an equation from my math teach that is KE=mass*accerleration of gravity * height and this can be used to find the speed of which you design will fall
25.   Math equation from Mrs. Walker KE=mass*accerleration of gravity * height
26.   Design achievment- first egg to break
27.   Achievment name- maybe next year     
Here are some pictures from the challenge

because of the way we designed our product the string woul take all of the tension from the fall it this was the result of the fall after the first couple of falls

Khan Accademy


in this video it talks about how acids and bases and the multiple definitions of them and it actually helped me understand the subject becuase we had just learned about this the other day.  And i felt that i didnt quite understand the subject and now that i have watched this video i feel i understand it better.  Now when it comes to the flipping the classroom i don't feel like it will help me becuase when i go to school i can actually focus better becuase if i had to watch the vidoes at home i feel i would be to distracted.

CAD modeling software

For our class we had to complete a series of modeling on the inventor program here are all of them.

















Conclusion Questions
1. in order to make a wire coat hanger you could make a triangle and then use the fillet tool.
2. the feature to create a 3-D representation of a spindle that was created on a wood lathe would be the hole tool.
3. A 3-D solid model prgram keeps track of the changes that are made to and object by having you save things by sketches so that you are able to undo using the undo button or pressing Crtl+Z
4. if a mistake is made then you can undo it by using the undo button or by pressing Crtl+Z
