Improving Model Performance
Description:
Today my partner and I focused on improving the performance of our lung model. We observed how the model responded during different breathing simulations and made small adjustments so the movement looked more accurate. We also discussed ways coding could help automate the breathing demonstrations and make them more consistent.
PLTW STEP:
Imorove Prototype
Outcome:
Model is functioning more consistently, and we identified areas where coding could improve the accuracy of the breathing simulations.

Designing and refining our codes for a functional circuit
Description:
My partner and I began working on coding that could help control the breathing demonstrations in our model. We focused on creating a system that could simulate different breathing patterns such as normal breathing and anxiety breathing. We also discussed how the code would connect with the physical model.
PLTW STEP:
Develop Solution
Outcome:
We made progress on the coding and started figuring out how it will integrate with the model.

Testing the Code with the Model
Description:
Today we tested the coding with the physical model to see how the system works together. My partner and I adjusted parts of the code and the model to make the breathing simulations smoother and more realistic.
PLTW STEP:
Test and Evaluate
Outcome:
The testing helped us identify improvements we can make to both the coding and the model.

Planning the Model Case
Description:
My partner and I started planning a case that will hold and protect our model. The goal is to make the project easier to transport and present while keeping the internal components safe. We discussed possible materials and designs but have not started building the case yet.
PLTW STEP:
Design Improvement
Outcome:
We developed ideas for the case and planned what steps we will take when we begin building it.

Reviewing Progress and Next Steps
Description:
Today my partner and I reviewed the progress we made this week. We made a few additional adjustments to improve the model and discussed next steps for finishing the coding and starting the case.
PLTW STEP:
Evaluate
Outcome:
Our project is improving, and the next steps will be finalizing the coding and beginning the case construction.
