During this project I was able to grow as a "digital artist" through my mistakes. The final product was unpolished, choppy, and lacked audio continuity. Through trial and error I feel as if I can better understand what makes films more or less appealing (and my film was definitely not appealing)
Newtons First law (an object in motion stays in motion, vise versa) can be seen when the ship travels from Earth to Mars through the vacuum of space. Newtons Second Law is F=ma witch could be observed during the launching of the ships off Earth. Newtons Third Law is that "Every action has an equal and opposite reaction" Witch could be seen during the landing on Mars. Circular motion can be seen by the ships rotation during the stretch between Earth and Mars.
My strength through this project is Creativity. I was (somewhat) effectively able to design an entire underground civilization on mars witch really let me let my imagination be able to run free for this project.
My area for growth during this project is communication. During this project I found myself under alot of pressure & stress and I found myself not being able to communicate with my teammates as effectively as I would have liked too
The purpose of the trebuchet project was to teach us the fundamentals of projectile motion. We were given time and resources to build and research prototype models of trebuchets to better help us understand the mechanics and to familiarize us with the machine. Nine groups then thought up all of their final designs and all began to build what would be their final product and prepared for competition.
