In this activity your team will quickly design and build a device that will send a cotton ball as far as possible through the air.
Conclusion
1. Do you feel that the statistical analysis results would be a better measure of performance when comparing alternate devices that the distance traveled by a cotton ball in a single attempt? Why or why not?
A:I think it would be a better measurement because the first time is surely to not go far as you saw in my first attempts
2. How would you recommend using the results of your statistical analysis of travel distances to assess device performance (rather than giving points for the distance of the single attempt allowed in the challenge)?
A: I would change add aerodynamics to the designs , I would tape the cotton ball in the front and take off the cup and paper clip
3. If you had the opportunity to optimize your design, how would you increase the distance that the cotton ball moves?
Adding aerodynamics to the designs
4. If you had the opportunity to optimize your design, how would reduce the amount of materials used?
A: I would used alot more than what i have right now
5. How could you improve the effectiveness of your team?
A: Better brainstorming untill we agree on something
