My group contained of two great painters; Alana and Cooper. We did alright in my terms. Alana did most of the work which I felt was wrong. Most of the work was painting the mobile. We had struggles in collaboration that we got over in a short amount of time which was a new record for me, about two weeks. My previous record was four months as no other project has lasted longer in my time at school. I did wish that we could have split the work evenly, but I had to live with the math, Alana did the painting, and Cooper did the misc. work. We did work rather well together overall. We never argue with each other unless something was controversial.
Religions had such different beliefs that there was a lot more than just finding a story. We had to find out what was the most popular religion and had to see if there were and stories that we found suitable to work with. People believe such a mass majority of things it is no wonder why we haven't discovered true endings. We had to use humanities to find what we wanted to put on the panels. The panels had to be three inches by three inches and they had to relate with our story. Going back and forth making sure something matched and made sense was a huge struggle.
Physics was a huge chunk of this project and I mean HUGE. We had to figure out how to find torque which is simple enough. Its Mass * Distance, to find how to balance of a stick you have to find how to make the two sides balanced. This means making both sides equal either by changing mass or distance. We used this to keep our mobile from tipping over and so it would stay straight and would not slump over. I am currently worried about the strength of the rope, but some quick math helped me realized that it was fine. Physics had to be used all throughout this project just to get to the final point of completing.
Engineering, we used it in many different ways. We used it to cut panels to unique sizes and make them balanced on our sticks. It also allowed us to make panels weigh more if they really needed to and made it so we could accurately fix it. Engineering did just allow us to build our mobiles. It helped us build them accurately and symmetrically. It also allowed us to make sketches in wood with Adobe Illustrator.
I feel that what we had to offer the 1st graders and teacher was way less than what they expected. It was only a mobile that looked like it magically floats. We had a story that was very confusing to speak of to First graders. Summarizing the story was not any easier. If we knew we were presenting in front of Elementary Scholars at the beginning of the project, how different would everyone's creation be? When it came to doing the actually work I did rather well I would say, A for me at least. My partners were great help as well. Work ethic, we put lots of effort to make our mobile work as a 3D model and it didn't come out half bad. My partners worked on designing the panels on each layer while I figured out the math to make them balanced. We all overall did an equal amount off work. If things were wrong we were not slowly in saying and we worked almost immediately on issues. Oral communication was done especially well once everyone got used to each other. Written communication could have been better, overall we had little reason to use it anyways. Both my partners had decent ideas on how to cut and design panels while I understood how to find torque and equilibrium. We got the work that we needed to be finished on time and we were quick to challenge ourselves. We respected each others opinions and helped out other groups when we could. I wish we could have put more effort into making our mobile and myth understandable by even the youngest.
