Not too long ago in Sci-Mathics class, I was up into a group given the idea of creating something that can turn on a light using renewable energy. I was put into a group of four. We immediately started thinking of the best ways to create a renewable energy source.
We ended up moving towards the idea of creating a water wheel. We tried making many different versions of it but, basically every single one didn’t work. We probably went through 4 different designs before actually coming to one that that actually worked. We made the water wheel out of everyday materials. It consisted of solo cups, a plastic container, PVC pipe, and a lot of glue.
Every model we made before either, didn’t rotate, was too complicated, or wasnt strong enough. We found that this design was the best because it was sturdy and held together fairly well, and wasn’t complicated at all, and the solo cups were large enough to hold lots of water to rotate it.
After we were done building it, we were given another task. That task happens to be that we had to create a video advertisement for our product. We had to basically show all of the science behind and explain why you should buy this. In reality nobody would buy it as it can only just turn on a LED light but, it can charge a phone, it just takes you like the whole day to do so. We made the video without much problem, two of our group memebers were in the video itself, one person edited it, and I did the voice over in a corny voice. It was the most awkward thing to record ever.

The project was lots of fun to do, and I am proud of what my group members and I created.
