Cardboard canoe challenge
Yesterday we participated in a canoe race in the pool with the canoes made out of cardboard and duct tape.
I have compeleted 5 achievements.
I compeleted the build it achievement where I built the canoe with my team. Our canoe had a v bottom shape which fills the v bottom achievement.
For the feedback achivement, under the positive sign we stayed up for a long time and the canoe was easy to build. Under the change sign I think we should build a flat shape bottom and we should have built our paddle better so we could have gotten faster. I was surprised that it floated as long as it did and that water came into the canoe.Some questions are that if we would have done better if we had a flat bottom and why the v bottom succed inn the water.
In the how low did it go achievement, our canoe went a couple of inches down in the water when it floated. The density of the boat was less than the water's density which is why it floated.
I also compeleted the redesign achievement. I think next time we do this project my group should build a flat bottom canoe so it would float better and we could win.

My first post
http://www.nba.com/home/index.html
I love playing sports. My favorite sport to play is basketball. I wasn't on the school team last year. I do plan to try out for the team this year. I played for a rec team at a YMCA this summer. That was pretty fun. My team wasn't very good, however we almost beat the best team twice. In the first game we were up by three points, but the other team shot a threepointer at the last second to tie the game. The game finished in a tie which my team was sastified with.
