First we picked our task as feed the money pig, and decided on our group name as Oink! Oink! Then we brainstormed our ideas and wrote them down. We then wrote our detailed description of our steps from start to finish. Then we completed our materials list to know the materials we got from the teacher and the materials that we would have to bring in. We also completed a list of dates of our project completion goals and testing. Next we began building our Rube Goldberg project. We all bought in the materials we needed for our project along with the ones we got from our teacher. For our first step we set up a small table up on a larger one. Then we taped a Twix box with marble at the top to the small table; we then taped a toilet paper roll to it and used it as a inclined plane. We set ten dominios under it on the table and put a marble at the end of them for our next step. In next step we taped a funnel at the end of the table and set up a mousetrap under the funnel. In our next step we tied a string to the mousetrap and tied the other end to a popsicle stick. We then put the stick on a toilet paper roll, that we used as an inclined plane, and put a golf ball and two marbles at the top of the stick. In our next step we set up another smaller table with two books on it, which were used as tracks for two balls that hit each other. Then we set up playing cards and Jenga blocks to make a track for the ball that falls off the table in our next step. Then in our next step we tied a Jenga block to beads that fall off the larger table. Next we set up a Coke can on a piece of wood used as an inclined plane. We then tied popsicle sticks to the beads and put them under the Coke can for our next step. In our next step we put a piece of wood at the bottom of the inclined plane with the Coke can on it. Then we tied a string to the piece of wood and tied the other end to…
The approximate age of the earth is 4,600,000,000 years old. Using scientific notation this number would look like 4.6 * 10^9. Scientific notation is shorter and easier to read than 4,600,000,000.…

“Creativity is intelligence having fun”-Albert Einstein. Some may think intelligence can only be expressed through work and serious tasks, but creativity provides an outlet for both fun and intellect. Rube Goldberg was a cartoonist, animator, and engineer who definitely blended fun with his genius talent. In fact, he spent over 60 years in professional cartooning. He was born in San Francisco on July 4, 1883, and died on December 7, 1970. Rube Goldberg created a complicated way to complete daily tasks through art and engineering to make engineering appealing to everyone and illuminated lives by inspiring people at all ages to express their creativity through engineering.…

1. Morality from WYNC. The first two experiments that deal with the train car are very interesting. The fact that most people would pull the lever to only kill one person versus killing five makes sense. The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. However, you would still be killing a person, but it doesn’t seem that you have much of a choice. The second experiment where you can push the large man to save five people seems a little different, but in reality it is essentially the same thing. You are killing one person to save the lives of 5 people. The reason it is more difficult for people to push the man is because you feel personally responsible for the large man’s death because you are physically pushing him off the car. When you pull the lever, it is a victimless act because you don’t have the physical act involved with pushing someone. Dr. Joshua Green’s brain scans are interesting but they are not that hard to understand. No one wants to kill someone directly, if they had to choose who to kill, they would want to not have a direct impact on the lives of others. People do not want to kill, because morality says we must not.…
Sensory play and sensory devices have been around for a while now, and have been manufactured in order to help create a sensory input to calm and focus children with ADHD, ADD, or autism. Furthermore, are fidget spinners productive or are they just a distraction. Now, I tend to fidget a lot, I press my fingers against my palms, twiddle my thumbs, and sometimes, have a hard time focusing. This is only when i’ve been sitting a desk for a while, and I constantly feel the need to be doing something productive, or I feel like i’m wasting my time. The science behind fidgeting actually isn’t very complex. Said by Roland Rotz, “If something we are engaged in is not interesting enough to sustain our focus, the additional sensory-motor input that is mildly stimulating, interesting, or entertaining allows our brains to become fully engaged and allows us to sustain focus on the primary activity in which we are participating.” For example, If you are fully engaged in watching a baseball game in the bottom of the 9th, I’ll bet you're not fidgeting a lot because you're focused…
A ball python is one of the most obedient snakes, which is why it is the most common pet snake. The ball python is native Africa residing in forests, savannahs and grasslands. Ball pythons are active around dawn and dusk. The typically grow between four and five feet in length. Ball pythons are known for curling up tightly and burrowing. Burrowing allows these snakes to follow their prey, which includes small rodents. The ball python kills its prey by constricting them. The life expectancy for the ball python in captivity is between twenty and thirty years. However, in the wild the life expectancy is around ten years old because they are eaten by their predators. During the lecture, the speaker mentioned the ball pythons parental care, defense mechanisms, and a unique adaptive quality.…
The book A Single Shard, by Linda Sue Park, is one of the best books I have ever read with the genre consisting of historical drama. Tree-ear, the main character, is a parentless, 12-year-old child who was raised under a bridge by a kind man with a crippled leg who went by the name of Crane-man. Despite this obviously poor life Tree-ear lived, he had one day that he looked forward to that he called, “throwing day” a day when a very skilled potter named Min spun a beautiful clay vase to Tree-ear’s enjoyment. One throwing day Tree-ear was caught watching Min’s work when he thought that Min was not around, and accidently dent the uncooked piece of clay after dropping it from surprise. Min, who was very angry at this, punished Tree-ear by making…
