Rube Goldberg Project

Thoughts for today from Amber...

Okay, so if you haven't heard of Rube Goldberg, I highly reccomend checking out this website before you read my post, or it won't really make sense. rubegoldberg.com

Good. Now that you're educated, I'll explain. In my physics class, we have been instructed to construct a Rube Goldberg contraption with no less than five steps that will end up breaking an egg. Seems simple enough, right?

WRONG.

Thus far, my group has only created a basic design for our contraption (we haven't even begun to build it) and the big presentation is due on Friday.

Can anyone else say, "EEK!!!"?

Pokemon and Physics

Thoughts for today from Amber...

My weekend. Yeah, I spent all weekend on Pokemon (Platinum, for the DS) and my Physics project. Pokemon going well, but the Physics? Not so much... The stupid photoresistor stopped resisting about an hour into it. The whole thing is due this Thursday and it's not working. If I fail Physics, my life is OVER. (My dad's a physics teacher.)
