Posterous theme by Cory Watilo

2011-2012 Semester Portfolio

Summary

Egg Drop Project http://wshsarelit.posterous.com/pages/egg-drop-challenge- In this project we had to create a device that would protect and egg as its downward speed accelerated and that would cushion the impact between the pavement and the egg.

Bridge Project http://wshsarelit.posterous.com/pages/bridge-project-challenge- The whole point of this project was to create a well constructed and even bridge that would withstand the mass of the weights.

 Grade & Arguement

  • What grade have you earned for this semester? I believe and A.
  • What evidence do you have to show why you believe you have earned this grade? The artifacts below, plus I was gone a week during the egg drop yet before I left I managed to help my team get far in the project, and during the bridge project my partner was gone a while and I sill got far enough that right when she got back we started building immediately.
