Personal Narrative: My Trip To Rhode Island
This summer I went to Rhode Island with my dad. We took our two kayaks on our Toyota Echo to go kayaking in a few of the lakes near our beach house. We stacked the two kayaks on top of each other, as that was the only way we could fit them safely on to the car. Before the seven hour trip to Rhode Island, we bought a few pairs of ratchets to hold the kayaks down. Our biggest concern was that the kayaks would slip off of the car due to the high speeds of the highways and the wind pressures.

This road trip was scientific due to the fact that we had to make sure that the kayaks were securely straped down onto the roof of the car to prevent as much wind pressure as possible. We didn't accelerate past 60 MPH on our way to Rhode Island, even on the

    The Scrambler

    For our car we decided to make it a rubber band car since that would give it the most mechanical and potential energy. The rubber bands were to act as our potential energy since it stored all the energy as we pulled it back to wind it up. The whole car then would be running on mechanical energy. As the rubber bands unwind, it turns the rear axle of the car which then drives the rear tires to move the car. Miranda made sure to get the car to only go forward by figuring out the right amount over rubber bands and how tight to make them. Another way to not make sure the car went a different direction was to make sure the bands released and didn’t get twisted back up. If they did that would result in a car that went backwards. The tighter we got them the father the car would go. It turned out to be about 4 bands that were tied together. The car was able to go because of the force that was being built up with the bands as they tightened. The back wheels were also put on tight so the car went straight and the axle was secured with glue to the rotating piece of wood. The only force acting on the car were the bands and with the cement ground there was no friction, so the car had a smooth ride. The speed did slow down however after the initial take off but we wanted it to go slower as it approached the wall for the safety of the egg. Overall our project went really well.…

    Personal Narrative: Long Beach Island

    There’s no other place in the world where I feel the most at home than being at Long Beach Island. There you can smell the fresh, salty air of the ocean as the warm breeze brushes across your face. It is a place where the sand, sometimes chilled by the water or boiling hot up in the sand dunes, fiddles its way through your toes one by one sending chills down your spine with every step. Off in the distance you can hear the chiming of bells as the ice cream men call children of all ages to cool themselves off with a frozen treat. This is the place that all summer long, I am lucky to call home.…
