Building a Origami-Type Lamborghini
Our first idea was to make a paper Lamborghini. We looked on many websites to find ways to make an origami-type Lamborghini. All of the instructional videos that we found were at least an hour-and-a-half, or did not even look like a car. As we got to school I had the idea to look up paper models of Lamborghinis, the kind where it has the dotted lines and you cut it out, fold it where it says to, and tape it together. We printed it out and we could not get it big enough on a standard-sized piece of printer paper. There were five basic shapes on the model so we just decided to take five pieces of paper and draw the shapes much bigger and duplicate the design. After we drew the design and cut it all out we decided to cut out pieces of cardboard the same shape and put it behind the paper so it was more stable and added some weight.
For our balloon, we put a hole in the back of the car that we could put a straw through, and taped the balloon to the straw. We taped the straw up on the back part of the car so when we blew up the balloon it would go straight up. Our wheel idea came to mind when I was drawing out an idea for our car. I was using a blue highlighter, accidentally dropped it, and we discovered how fast it rolled. We decided to try to pop out the center part of the highlighter so we could put a piece of wire through the center through the two ends and hook the wire through the bottom part of the sides of the car. We were going to use two highlighters, one in the front and one in the back, instead of “4 wheels”. However, we could not get the center out of the highlighters. We went “dumpster diving” around the school and ending up getting pop caps from Ms. Chambers. Since our idea was to use highlighters and the wire, once we hammered a hold through each of the caps, we couldn’t figure out how to make them turn because we did not have a good axle. We tried to use just a straw for the axle and that did not work. We then tried to compact the

    First we picked our task as feed the money pig, and decided on our group name as Oink! Oink! Then we brainstormed our ideas and wrote them down. We then wrote our detailed description of our steps from start to finish. Then we completed our materials list to know the materials we got from the teacher and the materials that we would have to bring in. We also completed a list of dates of our project completion goals and testing. Next we began building our Rube Goldberg project. We all bought in the materials we needed for our project along with the ones we got from our teacher. For our first step we set up a small table up on a larger one. Then we taped a Twix box with marble at the top to the small table; we then taped a toilet paper roll to it and used it as a inclined plane. We set ten dominios under it on the table and put a marble at the end of them for our next step. In next step we taped a funnel at the end of the table and set up a mousetrap under the funnel. In our next step we tied a string to the mousetrap and tied the other end to a popsicle stick. We then put the stick on a toilet paper roll, that we used as an inclined plane, and put a golf ball and two marbles at the top of the stick. In our next step we set up another smaller table with two books on it, which were used as tracks for two balls that hit each other. Then we set up playing cards and Jenga blocks to make a track for the ball that falls off the table in our next step. Then in our next step we tied a Jenga block to beads that fall off the larger table. Next we set up a Coke can on a piece of wood used as an inclined plane. We then tied popsicle sticks to the beads and put them under the Coke can for our next step. In our next step we put a piece of wood at the bottom of the inclined plane with the Coke can on it. Then we tied a string to the piece of wood and tied the other end to…

On other hand he stepped up to buy Louisiana territory and he desperately tried to get the Louisiana territory for the new nation but he was not granted evidently to do so under the Constitution. Ultimately, Jefferson was able to make it happened to purchase the Louisiana territory. According to his decisions, he was capable of classifying his beliefs and actions and the significance of Louisiana Purchase he posted on national expansion. Jefferson believed in keeping the United States as agricultural land, and that’s for it required to expand the United States geographically to keep a principled republic. Some people believed that if United States could get too large the republics would not be able to act properly, and unquestionable disagreed. It might be right or wrong even you could say it was constitutional or not, personally I believe that the purchase of Louisiana territory was a conclusive attempt of Thomas Jefferson and that made the nation’s expansion. In addition, it brought up the platform for the settlement and gained the Southwest and the Oregon County.…
