What I learned in class

What we did in Physics class was we had to build a projectile launcher. Me, Caprice, and Brian were all in the same group and we had 2 weeks to build this project. But unfortunately what we build at first wasn't going to plan because it wasn't launching and the design was terrible. The day before we had to test our launcher we all decided to tear apart what we build and start from scratch. So within 45 minutes we actually made a new launcher and it worked. The day of the test launch Ms.Hudson was absent so Me and Caprice just made a few adjustment and the launcher was good. The day of the actual test launch Me and Brian had to do it because Caprice was feeling under the weather. Out of the 11 groups that did the project and launched we came 4th place. The lesson learned in this project was we are clutched for doing that project in 1 day. I can do anything last minute and still get a decent grade to pass the class. Some difficulty we encounter was we had all the left over materials (wood,needles, rubber bands, and strings). The main problem was we kept playing around, asking stupid question, and distracted other groups from getting their work done. Also working with close friends is the main problem as well because it's easy to get off topic and not get work done. Well at least I had fun doing this project because it was something different and never in my life I build anything like this.

  1. It's cool that you guys did well on your project. It was also nice to see you guys practicing your launch in the hallway. I would like to build something one day as well.

  2. Yeah I agree, this project was very interesting and I enjoyed it a lot. Ms. Hudson did a great job in constructing this project as well as the students who took part in it.

  3. This sounds like a great project, but a class related response is supposed to be about English class!
