HTHI
This part of my DP will highlight some of the activities or investigations that we do in our math/physics class.
Conductors and Insulators
One lab that we did was the "Conductors and Insulators" lab. In this my group and I where given materials that where conductors and insulators and we had to test which ones where conductors or insulators using a circuit. my group and I four out that most conductors a usually made out of a metallic substance like paper clips or tin foil. My group and I also found out that the best insulators are made out of plastic.
Barbie Bungee Lab
In this lab my class was loaned a bunch of barbies to do a bungee jump from High Tech High. In this lab we had to determine what the weight of the barbie was that we were givin by attaching rubber bands to her and drop it from seperate hights to see how many rubber bands that we needed to use to drop it safely from HTH. My group had one of the lightest barbies so we has do use thirty rubber bands and we ended up doing the best it the class.
Ring Around Lab
In the ring around lab we were given materials and different size circular objects and we where to find out how many of that material would fill the diameter of that circular object. My group was given black beans which is a fairly small object so it took uslaly over 50 fblack beans to fill the object.
