Aerodynamics//egg-glider

G:  twenty-five straws, a meter of tape, one sheet of newspaper
R: an egg glider that can successfully glide through the air whilst carrying a chicken egg safely to the ground

A: some sort of glider that resembles a hang-glider that is aerodynamic enough to fly for a short period of time before descending gingerly. preferably triangular, so it's able to cut through air resistance and whatnot.
has to be strong enough to support the weight of the egg, soooo might have to deal with precise measurements and such

Walking the Graph

Today in physics class we did our first lab. We were given different graphs and by using a motion sensor, we tried to mimic the graphs with our own movements. There were distance/time graphs and velocity/time graphs. For the distance/time graphs our positions from the origin (or in this case the motion sensor) was relevant with our results. To achieve a positive slope, we had to walk away from the sensor, and to obtain a negative slope, we were to walk towards the sensor. But when it came to the velocity/time graphs, the only relevant factor was our speed, it did not matter what our distance from the sensor. If a part of the graph was above 0, we were walking away from the sensor, if it was below 0, we were walking towards the sensor.
There were many trials and while dismal failures brought on moans, groans and the occasional shriek, it only highlighted our elation when graph01b was RIDICULOUSLY PERFECT.
SHARON IF YOU'RE READING THIS, YOU ARE AWESOME, I AM AWESOME, OUR GRAPH WAS AWESOME AND I FEEL SOMEWHAT ACCOMPLISHED.

oh yeah, haiku;

I have realized that
words of physics are too long
to be in haikus.

although syllables
hinder the theme of my blog,
i will persevere.
