To represent Newton's three Laws of Motion, we made a hovercraft. We started off with a big plank of wood. We cut the plank down to size and sanded it, in order to get the circular shape required. We’re cutting out a 5ft in diameter circle out of a plastic sheet. We are drilling a ¼ in hole in the middle of our wood plank and then wrapped duck tape around the perimeter of the plank. In order to cut circles 3 in the plastic we are going to make a stencil to make sure everything is evenly spaced out. To cut out the circles in the plastic sheet they used a ruler to cut out a smaller circle in the middle of the sheet. They used the circle stencil to cut out the small circles on the second largest circle. The next step is to trace a vacuum hole and cut it out. We used a 1in wide drill bit. We assembled the plastic sheet and wood plank together using screws. We screwed the plastic sheet in by turning it upside down and having the plastic sheet on the bottom. Efore doing the final step we tested the hovercraft and it worked perfectly, so we chose to not add the last layer of tape.
For a famous scientist lantern project, we chose Anders Celcius. We cut out the wood template and assembled quickly. We used the app Inkscape to print out the design for the lantern and finished the project with painting and adding lights.
To represent Closed circuits, we replicated one using household products. We made both a parallel and single circuit with switches to make each light turn on and off.
For this project, we had to use physics to find out who was the culprit.
