Physics Project Reflection 1-Afifah




Hello, I'm Afifah Ali and I'm here to tell you about a physics project me and my team mates, Deborah and Suhanee are doing. From what I know, we are doing a roller coaster and rube goldberg machine. Telling from the title we can tell what a roller coaster ride and if you don't, ill put it in easier words and just say it's mini roller coaster that needs to have 7 twists and turns in order to get a good grade. A rube goldberg machine is an original machine you thought about making and letting it come alive with a few materials.
our project has to made to made up completely with energy because if there was no energy our project wouldn't work.
Currently, we have an idea of how our project will look like but we need to if it will be accurate and i hope we have good accuracy to get the energy we need to make our project a success. I'm hopeful that our project will work and that it will stick together and not fall apart.
We already have a draft on how our projects look but we don't have the material we have just yet. We have started the starting point of our project, where the marbles will go through a tube and we have tested out to see if it will give enough energy we need for the marble to slide down to our next step. Other than that, we are trying to workout the obstacles for our rube goldberg.
So far, I haven't found anything difficult other than the accuracy energy we need for our project to be a success. We also have a problem with our objects sticking together because when we taped two objects to our wall, it had fallen down and we had to start all over again, not only that but we had wasted so much of our tape for something that didn't work.
Next class, I'm hoping to get an idea for what our group is going to do for our rube goldberg because we have a whole draft on what to put do for our roller coaster but I am hopeful that while doing our roller coaster, an idea will pop into our heads. after all, we do have a pretty creative team.
