Tomato Challenge

Testing our contraption

Today we added a strong handle for our box to be able to be attached to the flying fox. We attached our box to the flying fox so we could test the distance and speed and it would be traveling at. We did four experiments with each one getting timed, we then added all of the different speeds it traveled at, and then divided that answer by 4. This gave us an average speed that it was traveling at. The one thing we need to modify on our box is adding a lid because when we were testing it the egg cartons flew out, which means squashed tomatoes.

Tomato challenge part 2

At this stage we have half built our device. We still need some wire to hold the device and make it mobile. Our next stage is to build the zip line so we can do the experiment and gather info.
