Blog 4 Questions:
A) Do you anticipate being successful in your testing? Why or Why not?
Yes, we do anticipate being successful in our testing because we have put a lot of hard work into this project. Although at the moment we are not done, we are are very closely narrowing in on our finished project. So far our tests have proved to be very accurate, as we have tested the project multiple times and don't expect to encounter any errors during testing.
B) How has each group member specifically contributed since Wednesday?
Jake attached the tubing around the pvc pipe and timed it to make sure we could get as close to a minute as possible, Channing designed and built the new water releasing mechanism, and Nick built the water wheel. Along with this each group member has been helping to fix problems associated with beginning stages of the project.
C) Have you filled out all the requirements of the project? Particularly the simple machines and energy transfers? Why or Why not?
Yes, our group has done a great job following the rubric and incorporating all simple machines into our project. As far as energy transfers our groups has done an outstanding job of finding innovative ways to use the materials provided to us to perform energy transfers effectively and be able to use them to our advantage. My personal favorite energy transfer in our project is our use of the mouse trap jumping from elastic potential to kinetic energy, allowing us to move a very heavy weight and release a pool ball.
