The video I watched was about math, geometry to be precise. We are doing 30 60 90 triangles and that was giving me trouble. He precented the information a little diferent but I was able to understand beter the subject. Now I just need to practice it to get beter at it but it was a lot of help.

Airplae

The model air plane was a great team building experience and problem solving. Building the plane was harder than it looked there was a lot of precision measuring cutting and pasting. I enjoyed the cutting part but the gluing was to messy. During this project we messed up multiple times but we managed to solve the problems. For example we accidently cut the body of the plane into pieces so we had to somehow glue it back together. We also lost the piece of metal that connects the rubber band to the rotor but we managed to bend a paper clip to replace it. We also thought it would be cool if we painted the plane so we did. In the end our plane wasn’t the best looking one or most efficient but after all the problems we faced our plane turned out to be decent. It managed some air time and distance and it survived most landings. I think if we had to do it again our plane would fly a lot better and we would make little to no mistakes.
