I dunno... burn stuff?


today i worked with rose and maddy on heat shields we were very successful we got our heat shield to last 5 minutes. but we had to turn off the wtorch so we wouldnt waste propain it adent even burnt a hole though the foil. we figured out that if there was alot of space inbeetween the foil and the net then the heat would spread and cool down more. i am glad tht we figured out how to make a good heat shield, because if something goes wrong on mission to mars with heat i will know what to do.

the profesional wire stripper...

today i worked with louisa and lucy. we worke on motors and watched a video about makeing a vacuem. first we made a straw that sukup a needle to the center to da that we had to rap wire arond the straw and strip the wires at the end. then we put the to ends to a magnet and put the needin the opening of the staw. it was sucked in to the middle of the straw i am wondering what the effect would be if we used a bigger straw and a bigger magnet.
