Newton's Rockets
Build the rocket we started off by watching a video of instructions. The first thing we did was adding straws on bottle to make a way or the bottle to stand. Then, we filled the bottle half full with vinegar and went cork fitting. Finally we rolled up baking soda filled paper and then put the paper inside with the cork. Shaking it and then flipping it letting the soda and the vinegar mix up launch it into the air. No, and i did not add modifications.
We incorporated the elements of art by doing having the different colors giving the rocket personality. We also used the bottle shape to be a foundation for the rocket. Finally we also used space to make distance between the chemicals so there were no accident eruptions. While we also incorporated the element of principles of design by making sure that our straws had balance and let the rocket stand up.
For the success of the rocket it was kind of bad. We didn't get the rocket to lift off the floor since the cork was loosely put inside of the bottle causing a dud of a rocket.
Newton's cradle
To build the cradle we started off by watching a video of instructions. After watching the video multiple times we had a decent understanding of what we need as materials and what to do with them. Then, we started by making the foundation of the cradle with popsickle sticks. Then getting to the hard part we had to take equal length string and glue them to the marbles. Next, we set the stong evenly on both sides of the foundation so all the marbles lightly touch on the same level. Finally we cleaned up the sides making it look more SLICK and we were down. WE had a working cradle that would have the energy of the marbles to travel through the other marbles.
We incorporated the elements of art by having space between the popsicle to make sure it would stand and be stable. Then we used texture for the string adding a more personality on the cradle. Finally when making the platform we made sure it had a good form. On the other hand we incorporated the element of principles of design movement because the ultimate goal of the project was to make it have good movement and transfer.
For the cradle It was pretty good success it worked perfectly fine but could have had improvements.
In Dr. Garner class we had to create our own super hero based on an element. My element was aluminum and I gave him power based on how aluminum is used and obtained in real life.
