In this project my group was Kyle, Jason, Jake, and myself. Our idea was to create a filter attachment for the engine of a car. This comes in handy when you use biodiesel to fuel your car. Our filter would separate the glycerin from the biodiesel, so you don't have to. You don't want the glycerin in your car and it's hard to separate by hand, but now, you don't have to with the biodiesel filter.
CONCEPTS
We didn't learn many physics concepts in this unit, but one thing set it apart from the others. The engineering design cycle. The engineering design cycle includes these 8 steps; define the problem, research the problem, specify requirements, brainstorm and choose solution, design a prototype, test solution, communicate results. This concept was the biggest one for this unit. We used this cycle to make our biofuel filter.
REFLECTION
Although we didn't have many physics concepts we had many pits and peaks. One pits was in the very beginning. We weren't able to find cool idea for this project, so we didn't really do anything for the first couple of days. Then, we had a peak and found a good idea to work from. Next came a pit, where we weren't able to use sketch up, but we quickly solved that by asking another student to help us. Finally, we had another peak, and it was when we finished our design and we were ready to present.
During this project I learned a few things about myself that I can either learn from or take to the next project to help me be a better group member. I learned that I have the capability to take a leadership role when I have to. I also learned I could be kind of bossy and not agree with the other members in my group. In this project I learned a lot more about myself than in all the other projects
