Energy in Motion
In this project we were to learn about energy and motion and how they relate.
week 1 we learned about vectors and we had to make a treasure map from them week 2 we observed aircraft and designed our own, we visited Palomar airport week 3 motion simulation week 4 initial car design/prototype What really interested me during this project was our visit to Palomar airport and learning about aerodynamics. Before this project I never questioned fully the engineering phenomenon of man made flight. This project also really inspired me to learn more about airfoils and the process of engineering planes. It has me interested in reading the book, "the Wright Brothers" by David McCullough. This book was recommended to me because it reveals what transpired between the brothers and how they approached the subject of flight. |
