Day 5
I finished up decorating the UFO today!! Whoop,Whoop. Can I get an amen? Seriously though, today I hot glued a door onto the GAPING whole that would have posed as a death trap for my "riders"! I used the door for a Lego car or something. Haha, it added a little more of an extra-terrestrial feel! Then, I used purple glitter to sprinkle over the silver. Now my project is silver, green, blue, and purple! Did I mention that it was beautiful? The only thing I have left to do it make the base for my flying saucer ride. Which, I will make out of a color pencil box!
Day 4
Oh day four...not my best day! HAHA..I added blue sequins to my project to spruce it up a bit. Of course, I thought it was adorable. Then, while enjoying my beautiful project, AMBER EVANS pointed out to me that my UFO lacked a door! She said, "HOW WILL PEOPLE GET INSIDE IF THERE IS NO DOOR?" I then responded, "I will beam them up!" :) It was funny, but I knew I had to do something. So, I grabbed Adam's trusty solder gun and went to work. I melted a small door into the plastic and created a door. Yay, problem solved! :) Then, saved by the bell! Another day in Physics complete!
Day 2 and 3
On day two i decorated my "UFO" with silver glitter and silver paint. It is super cute! I also found a way to attach the saucer to the motor. I used a piece of a bic pen to connect the two. Again, I used only recycled materials for this project! Day three was my burst of creativity day. I decided to paint a lime green (my fav. color) stripe around the UFO. I had to add some color! However, I had a problem with attaching the motor after using WAYY too much super glue. I guess it leaked into the part of the motor that rotated, but I fixed it! :) This project is coming along great so far. I'm oober proud of it! ;D

Day 1
We were asked to design an amusement park ride for a grade. My first day I brought a motor attached to a phone charger. It goes quickly, and i believe that it would be the perfect set up for my Flying Saucer amusement park ride.
THIS one is Colby's. I deleted the picture of mine on accident.
