We decided to make our car small and light with a boxy shape. We got our car materuals ready so that tomorrow we can start building.]]> 2016-10-11 12:53:34 UTC https://padlet.com/sarahshields6/az3iw9mkswyu/wish/129776637 sarahshields6 https://padlet.com/sarahshields6/az3iw9mkswyu/wish/129779408 i we are very excited for todays assignment. today we started measuring the paper and assembled our car]]> 2016-10-11 13:00:00 UTC https://padlet.com/sarahshields6/az3iw9mkswyu/wish/129779408 sarahshields6 https://padlet.com/sarahshields6/az3iw9mkswyu/wish/130416998 Today is 3rd 'car focused' day. Today we worked more on our first car. We really focused on making sure that the car was structured right and was strong. We got our axles and wheels ready. We put the straw around each axle and put the wheels on the ends. We also worked on building the rest of the car.]]> 2016-10-13 13:06:27 UTC https://padlet.com/sarahshields6/az3iw9mkswyu/wish/130416998 sarahshields6 https://padlet.com/sarahshields6/az3iw9mkswyu/wish/131198976 Today we last minute decided that we wanted to add a door on one side of our car. This is sturdy but will be easier to put clay in and out]]> 2016-10-17 16:01:02 UTC https://padlet.com/sarahshields6/az3iw9mkswyu/wish/131198976 sarahshields6 https://padlet.com/sarahshields6/az3iw9mkswyu/wish/131199269 Yesterday we finished our first car. Today we worked on building our 2nd car and making it a clone of our 1st car. Our 2nd car is going to have 50g of clay, opposed to our first car having 40g of caly.]]> 2016-10-17 16:01:56 UTC https://padlet.com/sarahshields6/az3iw9mkswyu/wish/131199269 sarahshields6 https://padlet.com/sarahshields6/az3iw9mkswyu/wish/131220284 Today we worked on completing our car. This is the car we're going to test our egg in. Some features we have on our car are two air bags, crumple zone, and a different shape. This car is going to be aerodynamic and very strong so when the car hits the wall at the end of the track, it doesnt fall apart or get crushed. Hopefull tomoorw we will work on finishing more and concentrating on building since we will lose Friday, due to being off]]> 2016-10-17 16:44:47 UTC https://padlet.com/sarahshields6/az3iw9mkswyu/wish/131220284 sarahshields6 https://padlet.com/sarahshields6/az3iw9mkswyu/wish/131533499 today we created a new design for our final car. we made sure that it was aerodynamic, protected our egg and was also visually pleasing. tomorrow we will continue to get our car ready for testing next week.]]> 2016-10-18 16:10:07 UTC https://padlet.com/sarahshields6/az3iw9mkswyu/wish/131533499 sarahshields6 https://padlet.com/sarahshields6/az3iw9mkswyu/wish/131855128 We could use physics to protect us during a car crash because of mass and Newtons Law. If the car were to crash, cars are heavy. The heavier the object, the faster it will go. That is an example of mass. Newton's 1st law of motion states that an object in motion stays in motion, and an object stays at moti]]> 2016-10-19 16:57:36 UTC https://padlet.com/sarahshields6/az3iw9mkswyu/wish/131855128 sarahshields6 https://padlet.com/sarahshields6/az3iw9mkswyu/wish/132128304 Today is Thursday and we finished our car. Our car is orange and blue with two air bags and soanted front. We put the test egg in the car and raced it half way down the track. Our car went super fast and we are so excited for race day on Monday.]]> 2016-10-20 16:10:03 UTC https://padlet.com/sarahshields6/az3iw9mkswyu/wish/132128304 sarahshields6 https://padlet.com/sarahshields6/az3iw9mkswyu/wish/132671658 Today was the last day of the physics unit. Therefore today everyone tested their paper cars with the egg. Our car was runner up with the 2nd fastest speed of 2.94 m/s. As our paper car went down the track it went fast, and at the end the egg didn't crack at all. Our car was pretty successful. Even though we didn't get the the extra credit we are still very proud of our car.]]> 2016-10-24 12:54:04 UTC https://padlet.com/sarahshields6/az3iw9mkswyu/wish/132671658
