For this round of Genius Hour i'm going to go around the classroom and seeing what people are doing and blog about their topic. Today I was a little stuck finding who to blog about but next week i'm going to blog about ULTIMATE SCIENCE. The group is Connor, Nick, Max, and Christopher. I'll blog about what they are doing that day and take a few pictures and maybe a video. and blog about it. Until next weeks blog...
My genius hour project is an egg drop with Justin. We choose this project because we thought it might be cool to drop an egg without it breaking. My cousin already tried it and it didn’t work out. And when he tried I helped him and that's what got me into doing an egg drop for my genius project.
The first thing we did was design a machine that would fall softly to the ground without the egg cracking or blowing up in our machines. We also did some video tapping with some of the egg drops and most of them had test eggs inside so we could test out how soft it would drop to the ground. The first machine was based off of my cousin’s work, which he let me use. But we changed the balloons with a parachute and hoping that it would work, but as soon as we tested it out it hit the ground really hard, We couldn’t figure out a machine that would work, and we went back to the drawing board and came up with one more design. We didn’t really get any help except the help from my cousin. He gave me some ideas that i showed Justin and that's the design we have now ready for testing out and ready for that egg not to blow inside of the machine. Most of the progress came from our machine that worked and didn’t work because the ones that didn’t work made us stronger. When the test didn’t work we made new ones, better ones, stronger ones but most of all the best successes was making the perfect machine for the egg drop. But as always we’ve had some problems like not bring the egg to school or just not participating in it or taking time off to help some friends do their genius hour project. We haven’t really got a egg and did the egg drop but as soon as we do we will we’ll get back to you guys and more but next genius hour project will not be the same though. But until then I’ll see you in the next blog b-bye |
