Fling Machine Reflection

A way to optimize the design would be placing the two cotton balls between two  corks and rubberbanding it together. Then we would throw it and measure the distance afterwards. One thing I would do differently would be simplifying it but make it go further. I did not see anything wrong with my team, Pallavi and I worked really well together. Given the constraints I believe my team worked really well and optimize the design by using the less. I believe that some teams kinda "cheated" the constraints by using their arm. To our group it was the easy way out. That they really didn't have to think on how to fling something with a device, not an arm. 

Our Distance: 56.5"

Unit Conversion Reflection

For my project I was in charge of significant figures, and running the game. For me both of these topics were really easy for me to do. The most challenging thing for my group was a way to make unit conservins fun. We really enjoyed making a presentation out of unit conversion, but making it fun was extremely difficult as it is such a "dry" topic. We worked decently as a team. There was some issues with people not doing really anything for brainstorming, but in the end it was all right. For brainstorming we wrote down all the conservins and an outline for our presentation. We also wrote all the necessities/ requirements for this presentation. 

Colors in the kaleidoscope
