Time Travelers Project
Description: My group built a modern day sail boat. We learned about Archemedes and Bernouillis principles to make our boat float. We then drew out the dimensions, cut the wood, re sized the wood, and cut again. We also made concept posters to explain the principles and blue prints to explain our boat design.
Process: I used drafting and revision when our group made the concept poster. We needed to make many revisions to improve our original design. Also. because some of our wood was cut wrong, we needed to redesign our whole boat. We worked on how to redo our dimensions to make our boat better because of the wood miss hap. We also redrew our blue prints to match the boat.
Reflection: I learned how to keep a boat afloat by using Archemedes and Bernouillis principles. I also learned how to use a power saw. This was so fun! I got to cut wood and get over my fear of power tools.
My biggest struggle was redesigning our boat because are wood was improperly cut. We needed to redo our whole project because someone had cut our wood pieces wrong without our permission.
If I could do one thing differently, I would make sure that our whole group knows what is happening, because then we would work better together and make sure that we got the job done faster.
The thing that will help me the most next time is not having a fear of power tools. I can now use almost any tool because I am confident in myself that I will make the right and sensible decisions.
