This Project is a Puck on wood

 Hello reader, 

This is my action project for Light, Sound, & Time unit#2. During this unit we learned about sound. How sound sounds, how sound looks, how sound feels. What sound is. The method they move in (waves). To learn more I went to learn about how instruments are made at a violin shop in the loop. I also went to Chicago Hearing Society to learn about visual impairments, the scale of severity when it comes to hard of hearing, how a deaf/hard of hearing person goes about getting assistance/treatment, and how the ear works. For this project I created a diddley bow which is a single string instrument. I then calculated and measured the fret points. My diddley bow creates sound by the vibrations of the strings echoing around the inside of the tin can (mine has quite a nice twang). Enjoy!

The different harmonics/fret points showcase the difference in frequency when I put my finger on the string at a certain point. 


 


Diagram of diddly bow part 2: 



The harmonics (frequencies and wavelength): 


The math: 

Can Height: 1 ¼ inch 


Nut height: ¾ inch 


Can radius: 1 ½ inch


Can length: 4 ¼ inches


 Frequency: 123.2 hz

String thickness: 0.018 inches

Can volume: 19.63 inches

FK Water Filter Unit#2 Action Project Water Class 11/17/20

  As you can see this is a photo of my water filter. I used a tea kettle and drilled a hole in it and inserted a piece of quarter inch copper piping that I coiled around a water bottle. Unfortunately this does not work very well because the epoxy heat proof coating I use to seal the copper to the stainless steel cracked and steam leaks out of it. So in order to fix this I ended up using the spigot that was already on the kettle and luckily I had a compression knob lying around and put the compression knob on the spigot and put the spigot in a bowl that I covered with a silicone Bowl cover and was able to get about 2 to 3 tablespoons of water however I could have gotten more.  Before filter:                                               After filter:                  Before filter:           ...

FK Action Project For A Nations Argument Unit#1 "One Should Know How To Sharpen Their Bows And String Their Swords"

-
Hello Reader, This is my action project for the first unit of "A Nation's Argument class", a humanities course in which we study how arguments are composed and their use throughout history, particularly in the establishment of nations. This unit's central question was "How is a country reasoned into existence?" In order to understand how an argument is constructed using premises and conclusions, we looked to the Declaration of Independence. On top of that, we discovered what deductive reasoning is and how it uses principles to support claims. We had the opportunity to speak with the principal of a Montessori school during our external research and learn more about the values that guide the teaching of children at his and other Montessori schools. For this AP I created my own declaration of independence to study physiology and why it is my right as a student do so. Enjoy!

FK Unit#2 Action Project for stories " The Tail of The Arrogant Lion " 10/18/21

     This is my unit#2 action project for stories. For this action project I was supposed to create a fable that has characters with anthropomorphic features and a strong,clear moral. I chose to make my characters lions because they represent the moral of my story. The moral of my fable is arrogance comes with consequences, and humility comes with rewards. I chose lions because I believe lions are the most arrogant animal. This is a fable about a lion named Brian who is very arrogant but also very insecure.  This is a fable version of a previous action project.   Enjoy! The Tail of The Arrogant Lion      Brian is a lion so arrogant he gets self conscious when he doesn’t receive validation from others. Brian likes hearing that “that's the right answer”. Brian loves when he is right and the other lions are wrong. He loves hearing the female lions complement Brian's beautiful fur, his strong claws, and loud, frightening roar. Brian believes he is sp...
