Heat shield

Today I worked on heat shield lab wit gabby and Unity. We had five different shields for our space ship. The times were, 22 sec., 9sec, 1:05min, 1:17min, and our longest was 1:22min. I think we were very efficient and we did finish everything. This has to do with mission to mars because we need to know how much heat our space ship can withtake and how long it will last through that heat.

Measuring Sound

Today I worked with Cece on the lab called measuring sound or something like that. We noticed that the more times the wire was rapped against the nail the hotter the nail got and the more negative mt. We did not get to the second part and I did not get the first part which is what made this lab really frustrating. I also do not know what this had to do to mission to mars.

Impact Craters Lab

Today Sam and I worked on the Impact Craters Lab. I fell like we worked really and got really far because we got to the point where you are supposed to draw conclusion. The conclusion I drew was that the higher you dropped the ball from the deeper the crater. We did keep the mass and the gravity the same. The higher you drop something from the more gravitational potential energy it has and when it drops Kinetic energy helps determine how big the crater is and that is what we notices. I am not sure what this has to do with mission to mars.

Moters

Today Honore, Jackie, and i worked on the lab called Moters. First we cut wire, then spireled it around a piece of straw, atached it to a battery and watched nothing happen. So basically we finished eercise one, but the results were non excitant. I think we were all kind of distracted though. I dont know what this has to do with mission to mars.
