Anthony's Stem 2012 Information

Baking in the Sun Journal Edition Day 5 Monday 7/9/12 Dear Journal, Today, I finish my online design for my solar powered oven. You see I have sign up for the STEM program. I have been assign two projects. As mention before, my project is a solar powered oven. Once painted it should look like an alien or monster. For me, once me and my partner build it I think the most difficult part would be the door. By the way we have an open roof. Day 7 Wednesday 7/11/12 Dear Journal, Yesterday we traced our parts for our oven. However we didn’t finish. But I hope we will finish today. Also, we will paint it as well. Then tomorrow, we will build it. We will use glue and nails to put it together. We will use the Black felt as the door.

Day 11 Wednesday 7/18/12

Dear Journal,

This is week 3 of the solar powered oven project. this week we finished building and decorating our solar powered oven. When we were making our oven we made a few adjustments. We made a hole in our wall. Then we made a half pan half cookie tray that go in and out of the oven. We also made a black felt flap for the door seal. The walls becames part of the legs and two of the wall are covered in aluminum foil, and two are covered in black felt (one of them is the flap). Finally,we made a magnafing glass for the oven.

Flying Tetrahedron kites

Day 1 Thursday 7/19/2012

We started building one of the four parts of the kite. Our materials are:


 * String 4 long string (45 in) and 4 small (25 in)
 * 24 straws
 * Color tissue
 * Tape
 * And stick glue

Day 2 Monday 7/23/2012

After we made a pyramid we cover two of the sides with tissue paper. Each pyramid is compost of 6 straws, 1 long string, and 1 short string.

Day 3 Tuesday 7/24/2012

We all finish all four pyramids. Finally, we combined them facing the same direction and decorated them. Now we can fly our kites.

Day 5 Thursday 7/26/2012

Yesterday, we flew our kites. It was a huge success. All of our kites were flying in the air. If I had to change my kite I would use a stronger material to replace the straw. The straw was used to hold the string and keep the kite in shape. But while I was flying my kite, one of the straws started to bend. But it was still a great kite.
