I learned a lot about physics this trimester. I also learned about teamwork. Having worked with Jack for the past month or so, I learned that he is a good partner to have during a project. I learned about Newton's Laws, G-forces, and Energy. If I changed something about my project, I would plan ahead more for the decoration. We didn't spend that much time on it. My overall feelings about the project are I'm happy that's it's over, but I'm sad that it's just another step closer to school ending and me going away.

Physics Project Reflection #3
We made some good progress today. We added a loop and a little vertical corkscrew that goes under the loop. Everything is working fine. The tape is starting to not stick. We have to keep sticking it back on. Inertia has affected our progress by making the ball harder to control. When the ball goes on the loop, it doesn't want to change direction, so it just flies off the track. We added some support and the problem seems to be fixed. We still don't have much to be frustrated about.

Physics Project Reflection #2
So far we've made some pretty good progress. Everything has worked and the tape has held pretty well. Sometimes we don't have enough energy and the ball falls off the track. I think it's so cool that I'm the one doing the roller coaster this year. I really enjoyed watching the roller coasters last year.
