Egg Drop Challenge
This was my first egg drop challenge for me, my design was a bunch of sandwich bags inflated and taped together surrounding the egg. For most of this project I worked alone, until the final drop day, when Johnny came. My contraption, or pod, was completely deflated, so him and I reinforced it with a couple of more baggs. When we dropped the egg suvived landing in the bullseye. The seond time it dropped the egg cracked and it landed right outside of the bullseye. I feel that we got no acheivements because ours was definately not the smallest or the lightest, and ours fell pretty fast. i am looking foward to the third anual egg drop challenge.

Provide "sustain" (positive) and "change" feedback regarding your experience with using the video to supplement your learning.
I used this video to help me with my math because i have a test on this subject in two days, it helped me remember some of the stuff we learned in classs.
"Sustain" - what works well for you with the video you chose?
The way he explained it worked well for me
"Change" - Is there anything you would change regarding the video or the concept of "flipping the classroom".
I would have put more examples of different kinds of problems on the video
In your opinion, could "flipping the classroom" work out? Should education institutions work towards this new paradigm?
I dont think it could work out because you cant ask the video any questions.

balsa wood plane
1.the idea of this project was to create a plane out of balsa wood, glue, and tissue paper (other materials were provided)
this is my plane under construction-
.
I tested my plane for the first time and found out that it was a little back heavy, so added some more balsa wood in the front of the plane, I addid it in a way were it look a cool unique disign, after this happened my plane ended up flying the longest in the class. I also was the first in the class to finish my plane.
