D.A.T.A. Project
The Data project is about when we had to collect different types of data, and put it into a infographic. First we had to learn different types of data. We had to learn Qualitative, Quanitative, Bivarate, and Discreate data. Then we had to pick our favorite topic we wanted to do. Next we had to ask 5 questions about the topic, and put the questions into a huge survey. Then after we got all of our answers, we put all of our data into a infographic (A infographic is when you talk about one topic, and put it into the computer). I felt that this project was pretty cool because we were able to learn more about our favorite topic from our peers.
The Dance Dance Re-Volt-ution Project
For The Dance Dance Re-Volt-ution Project me and my group members (Ashley Price, and Daniel Lamarque). We had to hand make 4 dance pads with lights. First we had to learn all of the different types of circuits and electricity. We had to learn different circuit formula's, insulators, conductors, and etc. We first build prototypes, then built the real thing. Some materials that we had to use was cardboard, paper towels, aluminum foil, springs, and etc. Finally when we put everything together, and made the dance pad.
Pringle Challenge
The pringle challenge is when we had to make a package for a pringle chip. And send it to ours teacher parents house, and sent it back to school. Some of the requirements for the package was:
1. Strong enough to protect people's things during shipping.
2. Light weight, saving airplane fuel.
3. Not too big, saving space and allowing more packages to be shipped.
Me and my group members ( Grant, Ellie, and Alin) package was to send it in a little box with cotton balls inside. We used this so the chip wouldn't be crushed into pieces. And so we wouldn't cause so much mass weight. Down below is a sketch of how we made the box.

This is the photo of when my group's package came back to my school. From my teacher's parents house. After each group evaluated our chip we got a score of 10/10. After me and my group had to find our competition score. The steps to find it was:
1. Find your intacness score, then divided it by mass. 2. Then we you find your mass score you divided it by volume. 3. Then mulitply it by 100. After we did those steps our cometition score was 96.6. If I had to do this project again in the future I would change our box to be smaller.

Cardboard Catastrophe
For this project we had to create a type of object, made out of cardboard. The project that I made was a boombox. First I had to draw my boombox on a piece a paper. Then I drawed the shapes in 3-D, and wrote out each formula for that shape. Next I made my boombox out of cardboard in 3-d form. Then after I made it, I had to find my measurements. I had to find my surface area, and my volume. I really enjoyed this project, because it was really interesting and we were able to create whatever we want.
