First week always the toughest
During our Physics unit, it's TAISM tradition the eighth graders build a Roller coaster or a rube Goldberg or the two combined. First we filled out a survey which determined who our partners would be. I ended up getting in a group with Aya and Tarim, our initial idea was to to make a combination of both a roller coaster and a Rube Goldberg but then we decided on building Roller coaster instead, our theme for the project is 1950's diners and barber shops. So far we've accomplished the beginning of the roller coaster, we worked on a blueprint of how we want our roller coaster to look like when it is done. One thing we have struggled with was getting ideas for the structure of our building and keeping it balanced so the marble would go through without falling off the track, but so far we have a good start to our project and a good goal to it.
as for the blueprint, I will take a picture of it tomorrow in class and update my blogpost since I don't have a picture of it at this moment.
