Homopolar Motor PBL Journal
1. 8-30-13
Learned that we would have to do PBL projects this year from physics teacher Mr. Kahraman.
2. 9-5-13
Picked the PBL project known as the homopolar molar. Seems like an interesting project…maybe a little queer, or strange.
3. 9-27-13
I begin getting the materials to make the project. These include 10 gauge copper wire, a double A battery, and a small, strong battery.
4. 10-11-13
I begin starting to build the motor. I have a little trouble setting up the wire perfectly, but it works after a while!
5. 11-15-13
I work on my PBL website
6. 12-12-13
I make my action video for my website.This shows the homopolar motor in action
7. 1-7-14
The day of the STEM/Science Fair. Mr. Kahraman told me to demonstrate my project earlier in the week. I go, and it turns out pretty good
8. 1-18-14
Make my full PBL video. After 3 days, it’s finally done.
9. 1-23-14
Finish my PBL ELA journal
