Musical Instrument From Junk! (Second Term Project)

I played my instrument for the class today. It went OK! I thought it sounded just like jingle bells but apparently it wasn't dead on. I got a 8/10 for my grade. I was happy with how it went.

This is the final product! I just painted the straws. Covered the cardboard with scrap booking paper and paint. And taped it all together. The next step is going to be learning how to play Jingle Bells on this bad boy.

This was my plan to make a musical instrument out of common items.

I'm going to McDolands to get some straws. I have card board about

the house and I'll go to WalMart to get some paint to make it look

a little nicer.

Trail Run... LOOK OUT!

Bree and I went down to the church to give our airplane a test. Our our first run we were both excited and very happy with how well, high, and well our airplane flew! It was great. Then as we did it a second and from there after it didnt seem to work as well. It started to fly for shorter and go in circles. We learned that the more the rubber band was stretched the worst it would fly. We learned alot and are ready to have it graded.

Me flying the plane. Sorry so much of it is just winding the rubber-band!

Bree's Turn! Again sorry for the winding.

The Wright Brothers All Over Again...

Building the Airplane wasnt very difficult. We were able to follow the direction even though they were difficult to read.  

The Kits

Getting Started!

Working on the plane.

Almost Finished!

Bree's dad busted out the dentist glasses to help us read the direction.

Me!

Research... Research... & MORE RESEARCH!

Trying to figure out which airplane to buy and really understand how the air would take flight took alot of research on the internet. I have to say it wasnt easy. I was able to understand the aerodynamic concepts.

Introduced to the Project

Today in class Mr. Lindsay introduced are up coming project to us. We are to buy an airplane kit and construct it well enough to be able to take flight off the ground with only using rubber bands to spin the propeller. I'm slightly worried and little bit confused on what is expected. It seems like a very hard project, but do-able. It will defiantly be a cchallenge but with lots of hard work and research I think I can succeed.
