Life Balance
Description
This project was coordinated with our projects in Humanities (visit Humanities/Projects "Just Branches of A Tree"). We each designed and built a balanced representation of events from our lives. We assigned a mass to each major event in our life and then decorated an object that would portray the event. The object would be the weight of that event. We decorated each object and found the density of all of our materials. With our event masses, we created a balanced representation of our life's events. (minimum of 6 objects). During this project, we used the concepts of Newton's Three Laws along with density formulas and formulas for balancing our objects.
