Good start, bad ending

http://starkproducts.blogspot.com/2011/03/hooulu-ia-kamehameha.html



Today for physics we again created another blog for our new project. Our project now is in groups of 4 this time and each is competing to be the best. My group is Joe, Kaeo, and Christian. This project is called Ho‘oulu iä Kamehameha, and the overall objective is to observe something in our school that is a problem and think of a way to solve all the solutions pertaining to that problem. For today’s activities though, the groups competed in two difficult challenges that put our skills and knowledge to its test. I think that these exercises were done to see our how good our group can work together and to prepare us for what is about to come. The two challenges was to use 6 meter sticks and see how far off the table we could extend them without using anything. Our group had gotten 1.2m giving us 2 points and a four way tie for first at the end of the first activity. The second, which was much harder, was to use only 6 pieces of paper and use nothing to make the highest tower. We unfortunately epically failed and received only 2 points. This giving us a total of 4 points for the day and leaving us tied for fourth place. I hope we can pick it back up and gain the lead again. These activities will take lots of team work and cooperation among the whole group in order to achieve the goal.
