A) Do you anticipate being successful in your testing? Why or Why not?
I anticipate our group to be successful in our testing, but the duration of the project may be an issue due to the fact that the current state of our project is still not in the finishing touches, but rather our group is still in the building phase of the project.
B) How has each group member specifically contributed since Wednesday?
Each group member has made a significant contribution since Wednesday. We have met with one another outside of class, during free periods, and lunch to discuss and create new ideas to add to the project to increase efficiency and accuracy. We all find time throughout the day to work on the project, whether it is individually or as a group, we find a way to make it work and maximize the limited time given to work on the project.
C) Have you filled out all the requirements of the project? Particularly the simple machines and energy transfers? Why or Why not?
We have not filled out all the requirements of the project yet. We have 3 simple machines and are in the process on creating our fourth simple machine. The reason we do not have at least five different simple machines because the incorporation of the simple machines with one another must actually work, rather than just putting different simple machines together and not able to complete the intended task.

ReplyDeleteA. We were unsuccessful in our official test, but were successful in unofficial tests on our own. We were unsuccessful because our marble got stuck inside of one of the tubes and in between a crevice connecting two ramps.
B. Spend more time connecting tubes and ramps because if not connected properly, the marble is not able to roll smoothly and leads to experimental error.
C. We learned that a pulley does not actually have a mechanical advantage unless it is connected to another pulley. We also learned that it best to draw out a blueprint first to know how to assign projects and time. Lastly, we learned the different placements possible for a fulcrum in a lever.
