Artifact 3
I took Physics in the 11th grade. It was my favorite science class and I learned a lot because I was able to understand what were studying. Like every other ACLC science class, in the winter we each had to do science fair projects.
My partner, Nathan Johnson, and I decided to do a project related to skateboarding, since that is a hobby of his. We came up with the concept of finding out if the size of a skateboard's wheels affect its speed, then he and I conducted a study soon after.
Once that was completed, it was time to construct the display. This might be what I am most proud of. The colorful background of the middle and trim of the text on the sides was actually derived from various skateboarding magazines. The pictures of the different size wheels we used to test the skateboard's speed are actually life-size. The text is actually set up in chronological order of the project, giving it a pleasing flow.
