1). Sate the problem of this experiment
How many pennies will fit ib our boat before it sinks?
2). State your hypothesis for this experiment
If we build a boat made out of straws, tinfoil, and craft sticks. Then it will hold 50 pennies because the boat will not be that strong.
3). How many pennies did your boat hold?
Our boat will held 73 pennies.
4). What was your thinking/ reasoning behind the design of your boat?
We thought that the deeper our boat was the more pennies it will hold. Our boat had high sides that were held up by craft sticks. Our boat also had the straws on the sides to help it float.
5) What would you keep/ change in your boat design if were to do this again
I would make your boat bigger and not as deep. The boats that covered more surface area did way better than the small deep boats

If I was to describe the perfect person. I think that they would be nice, kind, caring, smart, athletic and artistic. I think that they would look like whatever they wanted to look like. They wouldn’t care what other people thought.
People achieve progress with technology through the “proactionary principle, which is: You
engage with technology. You try it out… You try to anticipate it, but after anticipating it, you
constantly asses it… and when it diverts from what you want… we fix it, but most importantly,
we relocate it… (and) find a new job for it.” -Kevin Kelly founding editor of wired magazine.
This quote is saying that technology is always changing. You use it and when it doesn’t do what
you want, you change it. It is also saying that this is how you achieve progress. That this is
always a good thing. He is saying that you should always just go with technology. Go where it
leads you. This statement is true. Our world is always changing and most of it is due to
technology. All of the advancements our world has made was because of technology. For
example our school. It wouldn’t be possible to succeed in our school without technology. Pens,
pencils, paper, tablets, and phones. If we didn’t have any of these, school would be very
difficult. Our advancements made in school were all made by technology.
Technology is everything that we have made. For one day if anyone tried to get through the day
without using it. I don’t think it would be possible. You can’t get water from the sink, you can’t
go to the grocery store to buy your food and you can’t cook the food that you do get. Not to
mention that you would have to sleep outside not in a house. Because houses are made by
technology.
It is a necessity in everyone’s lives and it is a positive thing. Every bit of technology that we
produce can be put to a something good. I’m not saying that it always is, but it can be. For
example nuclear bombs were made bad, but they figured out how to use the technology within
the bombs to give us power. Every advancement made with technology is progress. And
progress is being made every single day.
