In this project we learned not only a lot about history and physics but we learned a lot about collaboration. My group members were Sophia and Mariana and we were able to find out what our strengths were to help get through the project more efficiently. We worked very well with each other in the beginning but other time the project began eating away at us and we became tired and stressed out. What I would have done differently would be to take breaks because I would just burn out from all that work and end up exhausting myself.

The history portion of this project truly left me with hooked on studying more about what had happen in the past. I learned how there were ways for change without violence and how corrupt leaders gained power. I was able to make a story for my revolution and connect key events that had happen into those stories. |
In physics I was able to find out how much force was needed for the marble to go through the tracks and if the tracks were in the right length. I was introduced into a whole new vocabulary and was able to write out formulas for the roller coaster.
In engineering We were able to make a model of our roller coaster and I new for certain that this was never going to work so we were able to come up with a better plan. When we got to the rel building I burned myself so many times I lost feeling in my finger tips, and through all that pain I never gave up.

During exhibition I felt so tired and worn out because I worked so hard on this project just to see it crumble and fail. We learned so much and tried to incorporate our knowledge into the roller coaster but I felt we still came up short. Towards the end of exhibition Carol came up to me telling me that all my work paid off and that even though it didn't work that all our hard work was shown through our roller coaster. A huge learning out come has got to be for work ethic because I took every second to work on the roller coaster even though I knew it wold not work.
