It seemed like your question was unclear ands your answer didn't have a lot to do with what our topic is about.

Cycle 2 Week 10

My Question Was:
How do you know that an object or substance has all three of the ways heat can transfer?

My Answer Is:
I am going to break it down first. You know you have conduction when you can feel the transfer of the heat by touching the object or substance. It's like when you walk on hot sand and your foot gets hot from the heat of the sand. You know you have convection when you see heat rising to a substance. Usually that object or substance will move in a continuous cycle like a lava lamp. A lava lamp has wax that sits at the bottom and when it heats up it goes to the top and when it cools it goes back to the bottom. The last one is radiation. Radiation is being able to feel heat without actually making contact with the source. A great example is the sun and how it heats the Earth even though the earth isn't touching or contacting with it at all. So how can you get an object that consist of all three of these well making fondue is just one example but another one could be right were your sitting; In your house. A house because radiation happens when the sun beams down on your house causing heat to travel inside. Conduction happens because the heat flows from one object to another. You might sit in a chair that is hot because of all the heat in the house. Last but not least convection takes place when heat is transferred when there is movement of the actual source of heat. so that is my answer I hope it was helpful. Please leave comments on what you think I could do to make it better or to make less more in my case.

Cycle 2 Week 9

Today class was about making a parachute that could hold the weight of a plastic egg and land in at least within ten seconds. The parachute could have made out of coffee holders, pipe cleaners,string,beads, and napkins. The goal is to use these things in order to make a parachute that follows the guidelines that I mentioned in the first sentence. My partner Jennifer and I plan to use the supplies to make sure our parachute is not only stable but not to heavy. We want to make sure our parachute has enough air resistance and doesn't have a lot of weight. Air resistance plays a large part and the size of the person or object plays a large role in the how fast it falls and it's efficiency.
