Wind Turbines
The assignment was to create a wooden base to hold a propeller that would collect electricity.The input facters were knowing how to use ban saw and pour concrete. The final output was a turbine that could make electricity. I recieved a lot of feedback from my classmates who gave me advise and compliments on the turbine. I learned how to make a propeller and make a concrete base. I can use this knowledge in the future if i want to make eco-ficent wind powered things. If i did it again, i would change the propeller, because someone damaged ours.
Steps
1. make three or four sided trus base
2. make concrete bottum
3. make propeller
4. paint the trusses and propeller
5. test propeller

5. test propeller
Wooden Letters/Names
The assignment was to create letters that spelled our name and all connected by a base. The input factors were using the bansaw and glue. The final output was our name in wooden letters on a wooden base. I received lots of feedback from my friends, especially the ones who showed me how to drizzle paint. I learned how to drizzle paint. I could use this in art projects in the future. If i did this again, i would do a different color for the letters.
Steps
1. Draw font of letters
2. cut out two sets of each letter
3. glue them together
4. Cut out base
5. Glue letters onto base
6. paint letters and base
2. cut out two sets of each letter
3. glue them together
4. Cut out base
5. Glue letters onto base
6. paint letters and base
Airplanes
The assignment was to create a model plane. The input factors are a scale drawing that gives measurements for each element for you to build it. The final output is a model plane with a stand that is sanded down and curved. I received good feedback from peers as we helped each other out, figuring out the measurements and best ways to attach and sand the different pieces. I learned the basic parts of an airplane and how to read a scale and make a model plane. I could use this elsewhere to build models. If i did this again, i would curve the wings and tails more to make them more aerodynamic.
Steps
1. Measure and cut each piece of the plane
2. sand and shape each piece of the plane
3. cut out stand
4. Drill hole in plan and base
5. connect with wooden dowel
6. paint plane and stand(or use polyurethane)
