~Physics and Humanities~
The Zero-Landfill-Golf-Course Project!
This is one of my Exhibition projects. This project is for Humanities as well. For this project we had to build a hole for a golf course, based off of a physics concept. For our hole, we did kinematics/falling objects. First, we constructed the base out of plywood. We had to do some adjustments, as the base was not level. After this, we started working on our main part, a pechanga-like machine, shown below. This was probably the easiest part, as we didn't have any problems with this piece. After this, we connected the base to the pechanga thing, and we started to work on the ramp. The ramp was probably the hardest part, as we had to figure out how to connect the ramp, and how to support it, but it turned out okay. After this was done, we decorated the hole with paint, polyethylene, and Christmas lights, as we named our golf hole "Santa's Workshop".
All in all, I really liked this project, as I got to create a golf course, and we got to include a physics concept, which incorporated a challenge into the project. I think that we had a big challenge, because kinematics was pretty hard to display in a golf course made by teenagers in two weeks, but we pulled it off nicely, in my opinion. My group was a really hard working one, and we got all of our work done a day early. The Humanities aspect of this project mostly involved building in the Humanities period.

~Writing and Math~
The Christmas Crisis
For this part of Exhibition, we had to write a play based off of Agatha Christie's book, "And Then There Were None". First, we had to read the book and study the details in the clues she places in the characters. After this, we all wrote a play, which we then voted on. The winning play for our class was "The Holiday Horror". In this play, a guy named Nick was taking on the role of Santa, but with a sinister twist. He killed everyone that was on the "Naughty List", untill he was stopped by a teenager named Lizzy. The play is linked below:
The Holiday Horror
The math aspect came from designing the set. We had to draw a rough sketch of what we thought the set would look like, and then make a three dimensional copy. We then transfered this into a graphing program called DESMOS. This involved a lot of complex equations, and about a week of work. Mine is shown below:
