Aluminum Foil Boat Challenge

1) Take a one square foot of aluminum foil, and shaped it so that it would hold a lot of balls as possible.
2) It can probably hold up to 7 golf balls.
3) My aluminum boat hold up to 26 golf balls.
4)
 The one in the back held a lot of golf balls cause it had more area, the volume was big. Big area makes big volume.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
5)
 De'Andre's aluminum foil boat beat Carmen and Christy's boat cause his area was bigger and therefore lower density. It has lower density to fill up the golf balls.

Music Producer Vinnie Johnson Presentation


Three things I learned from Vinnie Johnson was:
One: Work really hard in whatever you want to succeed on cause it will help you on your future and career.
Two: Find good ways to invest your money cause it will help you throughout your life.
and third is, it's better if you start young doing something you like or interested in instead waiting till your older cause you already want to know your skills and stuff.

Designing, Building, Testing and Modifying AERY gilders



1) It performed average, i got a 3 out of 6.
2)I think it performed like that cause of the weight and how much air it got.
3) Yeah it deviated to the right
4) It stayed on course.
5) The design part was hard for me cause i had no clue what to do.
6) The building part was the easiest for me cause i already knew what to do.
7) Uhm, anything interesting, this assignment was fun!
