In this project we were in groups of three and My partners were Elizabeth and Angel. I felt so happy to be pried with Elizabeth, she's my best friend so who wouldn't be happy? Angel I had never worked with before, I chilled with him before. Our group was struggling or doing really good, no in-between. Elizabeth did a lot of the work and went the extra mile while I o only got to go on every now and then out of school. Angel helped more with research in class and with ideas. Maybe next time we could have the jobs spilt up more equally. I hope to contribute more in future projects, I felt as this project was spilt up evenly between our team members.
In the humanities part of the project we read the book Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. A dystopian themed book that takes place in the future (Keep in mind this book was published in the 1950's) technology was advenced and was everyday to these people. Firefighters were used to burn buildings, I know crazy right? Well the book follows Montag, a firefighter. But I'm not going to go too much in depth. Then we had to do presentations on a regime, my group and I got the Syrian Regime. A serious problem thats happening today! We used Humanities thinking in our Zines. mini magazines. We had o make a zine based off of what adults argue about. My group and I chose Gender Equality/ Feminism with our topic.
In physics, we didn't go too deep into it with this project. We used Thermodynamics and Phase diagrams in this project. We used the phase diagrams as to show how hot to cold the characters are in the book Fahrenheit 451. As I already said we didn't use much Physics in the project so I couldn't pessary said we used the thinking in the project.
In enginerring we made sterling engines. I still have no idea what they have to do with what we did for this project. But we did build and build and build for weeks. But what sucked is that no one worked, I guess we are just bad at building. But what we learned is about using different tools and using basic items to make an engine ( I think, I'm not too sure)
I feel as we did come together in the end, our sterling engine kept going for about three seconds. That is three more seconds than everyone else. Also our zine was amazing, Elizabeth filled it with her beautiful art and I just wrote and tried to make stuff on Photoshop, Much harder than it looks. I believe that we could be a group again just spilt it more evenly between work and it won't be as stressful.
