Wind turbine

Our first and best turbine.
Mass: 64.37
Height: 20in.
Energy: 4.006 W
Power: 9.8 M/S
1. Our turbine the only really one that worked was made out of a blue manilla folder.
2. The winner had plastic rulers that they melted to fold in so they could catch the wind, and others just werent as strong but they attempted to fold the insides in.
3.  Our best attemp was 9, but it only raised halfway.
4.  Create a unbalanced wing so that there is more pressure underneath than on top
5. It would catch the air using bernoullis principle.
6. Both had a bend in them to catch the air causing them to turn.

Wind Turbine Questions

Which rotor had the most power and why...?

Our second design had the most power, we used syrafoam cups and dowel rods and it was really light. where our other design was made out of really thick plastic and was WAY to heavy to have the wind move it without a lot of force.

What was different about the design of the windmill that did the best...?

The windmill that did the best was horizontal where ours was vertical, its blades were very long and made out of a somewhat light material. Where our cups were short and stubby.

What are the limitations to your model...?

the cups were too small at first to catch enough wind to move, so we had to modifiy them to catch more wind. So we taped foam board to the sides of them to make them wider and catch more wind and it worked really well. it was a good solution to our problem.

How do an airplane and windmill use air pressure to fly and rotate...?

Both of them use Bernolli's Principle where if the wind is not blowing in the same direction with force then nothing will rotate and create energy. Because if the blades are not facing the same direction then the wind will just blow inbetween the blades, and not past them causing them to turn. like with a windmill and an airplanes motor.

1. Our blue turbine made out ofthick blue folder paper was stronger than are thin cardboard box paper because it wasnt flimsy.

2. The winner had plastic rulers that they melted to fold in so they could catch the wind, and others just werent as strong but they attempted to fold the insides in.

3.  We fit 6 washers on are turbine but it took it awhile to roll up.

4.  create a unbalanced wing so that there is more pressure underneath than on top

5. It caught air to make it move

6. Because they both have that bend in them to catch air to make it move

Questions
1. The rotor that had the most power was our first smaller rotor, with smaller blades. The reason why it had the most power opposed to our second one was because our second rotor had blades that weren't designed as stable our strong as our first rotor.

2. The maximum output for our first rotor was four washers. The maximum output for our second rotor was two washers. Lastly, the maximum output for the best made rotor in the class never reached an actual maxout, because they built there rotor well, and also just didn't get enough time to maxout.

3. The supplies that were limited to the making our rotor were the two five star front covers to notebooks that we used in the process.

4. An airplane and a windmill use air pressure to rotate and fly, because top of the wings are curved making more surface area for the air to cover in the same time as the bottom of the wing. Because of this difference the top experiences less pressure causing lift.

5. It is necessary to twist the blades of a rotor to an angle because it will help increase speed and the amount generated power of the rotor.

6. The rotors of a windmill or turbine and the sail of a sail boat illistrate the same principle because the principle of lift, which is speed help both of these things with the power of there objects. Because as speed and pressure hit a sail boat or rotors on a windmill that determines how much power will be generated from the gust of pressure and speed.

Do I Remember how to make a table in HTML??

row 1, cell 1	row 1, cell 2	row 1, cell 3	row 1, cell 4
row 2, cell 1	row 2, cell 2	row 2, cell 3	row 2, cell 4

Yup. Also feel free to use this table, when you copy and paste it, go into html,then edit Row 1, cell 1 to whatever you had, it should show up, if you need more rows FIGURE IT OUT. also, im not a nerd for knowing this, i just know something you dont.

Wind Turbine

The rotor with the most power was my first turbine because the material was less flimsy and the blades kept their twisted shape more than the second turbine's.

The windmill with the maximum output was different than mine because theirs had long and skinny blades when mine had short and wide blades.

One limitation of my best turbine was that one blade kept untwisting making some spins inconsistant because the spinning would slow down everytime the wind hit that blade. Another limitation was the tinfoil over the fivestar notebook material was a little bumby causing more friction which slowed down the turbine.

Airplanes and windmills use airpressure to fly and rotate because of Bernalli's Principle. The high pressure wants to move to move to the blades/wings which helps the blades spin or give the airplane lift.

It was necessary to twist the rotor blades at an angle because it gave a place for the air to slide off the blades and escape after hitting the blades. It also helps the blades catch the wind and keep them spinning.

The rotors on a windmill and the sails on a sailboat illustrate the same principle because the blades on a windmill are curved to help catch the wind and move in a specific direction. Sailboat sails use the same principle becasue the sails are curved and once the sails catch the wind the boat moves in a specific direction.

Cancer

Five things that i learned about cancer was one, that there are multiple ways to get it, two, there are multiple ways to fight it, three, I learned that the survival rates differ form cancer to cancer, four, that their is more cancer out there than I thought, and finally, i learned that not all tumors are cancerous.

I have a few questions like, is their more cancers out their, and if so, what are they. Over all i really liked this project, i liked presenting to the class. Although it was not so great when i didn't fully understand it.

cancer project

From this project i have gotten some questions such as what was the most common type of cancer back in the early 1990s ? Also what does it mean if the cancer has metastasized and the doctor gives you really bad options? my last question is that if you were in remission and you get it again are your chances of living higher or lower than the first time. One thing I liked about this project is that you allowed us to ask questions. But one thing I did not like however is the length of the project i would have added a day so that the groups could make sure they had it down pat.

What I learned was that there are stages of cancer. Cancer can more to other parts of the body. It can often be over looked. It can spread very fast and sometimes it can not be stopped. Some of the treatments do not always work. I still wonder how many types of cancer there are. One thing I liked about this project is that it taught me a lot about cancer. One think I didn't like was that it seemed like we repeated all of the information.

i learned that cancer can happen to anyone no matter how old.
Canchemo, cancer is in many shapes and forms it can happen anywhere like mouth lungs hair.
metatsis is a cancer that can be spread throughout the body.
theres many tipes of theorpy like chemo , radation . chemo is when drugs are transputed in the body killing cells.
Radiation stops the cancer from multipling.

dislike was looking a t cancer vitiums
liked was giving my self a heads up on cancers.

quetons: !. i have question on how long somone can get it and when.

Cancer (one day late :L)

Five things I Learned:
1. Not all tumors are cancerous, only malignant tumors are.

2. Men can get breast cancer, its just not near as likely as it is for Women.

3. That tumors are made by a mass of cells that are replicating so fast they can't spread themselves out, so they just pile on top of eachother.

4. that the spread of cancer is called Metastasis.

5. That half the time cancer is caused by genetics, not by anything you have been in contact with.

___________________________________________________________________

Things I still have questions about:

1.Can you contract numerous cancers at one time, and what are the chances?

2. How many different types of cancer are there, besides from the more commonly known ones like Lung Cancer, Pancreatic Cancer, etc..
____________________________________________________________________
One thing I liked about the Project is that You got to learn alot more about you type of cancer than you normally would, and you got to learn about the statistics of that cancer, survival rate, etc
____________________________________________________________________
One thing I didnt like is that on some parts in the project you had to come up with answers for questions that may not pertain to your type of cancer.

Cancer
Five Things I learned:

1. That a tumor is made of a bunch of cancerous cells piling on top of each other.
2. That when cancer spreads it's called Metastasis.
3. That Raditationtherapy is when they aim for a certain area with gamma rays and get rid of the cells. Chemotherapy is when they inject the cancer killing drugs in the body, where it is needed.
4. I also learned that cancer can happen to anyone, half of the time it is transfered by genetics. But also there are some unhealthy living habits that can take affect on chances of contracting a certain kind of cancer.
5. That Malignant means the tumor is cancerous, and benign is where the tumor is not cancerous.

Two Things I Still Have Questions About:

1. What are the chances of contracting numerous cancers at one time?
2. How many cancers are there in the world?

One Thing I Liked: I like this cancer project, because it made it feel like a real life situation. Not only that but I did learn a lot about what cancer is, and now I know what my Grandma was dealing with.

One thing I Didn't Like: How we only really got to learn about one certain cancer, I would have liked to have done a project for all of them, I felt like I did not learn nearly as much on the individual one.

Cancer

5 Things I learned:

1. Cancers can affect anyone, regardless of age, gender, health level.


2. Every one in two people are affected by cancer at some point in there life.


3. Just because there is treatment for cancers, doesnt mean they can always help, some can actually make you sicker.


4. Both men and women can get breast cancer.


5. Cancers are silent killers, and most times you dont discover them until its too late.

2 Things I still have questions about:

1. What componet does a malignant tumor have that benign tumor doesnt to make it cancerous?


2. is it possible to have two different types of cancer at once?

One Thing i liked: I enjoyed learning about these cancers because it was an eye opening experience, i never realized how deadly cancer is.

One thing i didnt like: Learning how dangerous cancer is, and what the odds are of getting it.

First of all I was wondering if plants can get cancer? If they can how do they go through metastasis because their circulitory system different

What I didn't like about this unit was when we were assigned to a cancer and I was assigned to prostate cancer, and I found it rather akward to talk about the prostate gland in front of my class mates.

What I liked on the other hand was that we were working in groups to explain the cancer that we were assigned.

I learned what metastasis is it is when cancer moves throughout the body through the circulitory system. I also learned about the different check points and that if they fail there is an uncontrolled multiplication of cells, that may or may not have mutations within them. Another thing is I didn't know that not all tumors are cancerous. I learned more about treatments for cancer, how radiation theropy focases on a specific place, and how chemotheropy makes you lose your hair because the hair folicals divide similarly to cancer cells. Lastly I learned that milignant is when a tumor is cancerous and bengin is when it is not.

Billie's cancer project

Stuff I learned:
1. Older men have a higher risk of prostate cancer
2. Often times a healthy diet can prevent prostate cancer
3. Processed surgars are very bad for you if you have cancer
4. All therapys have their own risks
5. Men who are sexually active have a lower risk of getting prostate cancer.
Questions:
1. Why isn't it likely that kids can get.prostate cancer.
1 thing I liked: that we learned so many things about cancer.
1 thing I didn't like: that we had to use google docs.

Cancer Project: Ryan Falk

5 things I learned about during this project:
1. It doesn't matter if your male or female, you can get cancer no matter which gender. some are just more common in one then the other.
2. When cancer spreads it is called metastasis, and that it goes through the blood stream when it spreads.
3. the difference between chemo and radiation is raditation is when they target a certain area with gamma rays and destroy the cells. where chemo is when they inject the cancer killing drugs into the body.
4. Malignant means the tumor is cancerous, and benign is when it does not have cancer.
5. Cancer is very common, and there are a lot of things that cause it. smoking, poor diet, and not excersising. are some of the more common things that can later cause cancer.

Questions I still have:
If we have cancer cells in us everyday, then how come we don't have cancer?
If we can destroy cancer cells through chemo, then how come it can't be taken through a pill with no side effects?

What I liked:
I liked a lot about this project, it really showed you how common cancer is and how it can happen to anyone. And you learned all about how the cancer starts and how it spreads and what it causes.

What I didn't like:
I didn't like how we had to figure out their survival rate, because no matter what site you looked at everyone said a different thing. I also didn't really like the side project of what ever type of cancer you wanted to research. It seemed like a chore, and i felt like I didn't learn as much from it as i did the actual project.

I really liked this project, I really learned a lot about cancer. from the side effects to how it starts out in your body. This project was really great.

Katie Cheers (Cancer Blog)

Five Thing I Learned:

1. Some cancer actuallty can be from previous genes.

2. There are two types of breast cancer.

3. If you dont use tobacco you have the same chance of getting lung cancer as someone who does.

4. Men can get breast cancer also.

5. You can get cancer from over processed foods.

Questions:

1. How young of an age does cancer become more of a threat?

1 Like:

How we learned how easily cancer can take effect.

1 Dislike:

It was a lot of work for one week, but also it helped us to get it done faster.

Cancer Project

Some things I learned about cancer are:

• Pomegranates help fight cancer




• Ovarian and Breast cancer are connected




• Sugar helps cancer cells grow




• Getting exercise every day helps fight cancer




• Drinking a lot of alcohol can cause cancer

Bailey Perry

5 Things Learned-

1. There is 3 types of therapy a person can take for lung cancer.
2. Chemotherapy kills cancer cells through out the whole body unlike Radiation and Surgical because they focus of one spot of the body and taking out the cancer in that one spot.
3. There is stages in every type of cancer showing how much the cancer has spread through the body.
4. The reason why people lose their hair from Chemo is because it can kill your hair folicals making your hair fall out
5. Lung cancer is the second most common cancer that occurs in humans.

Questions-

1. Do more people get lung cancer from second-hand smoke then they do from actually smoking?

2. How many people die from lung cancer a year?

Disliked-

1. figuring out what excercises people should do with lung cancer.

Liked-

1. How it felt like an actual project for helping someone with lung cancer.

Cancer

5 things i learned about IBC. I learned that it dosnt just stay in the breast it also can travle and go into your body. Inflamitory Breast Cancer is dealdy, it kills alot of people every day. If you dont keep a healthy diet then you can have a high chance of getting it. Alot of cases are on girls but there is also a chance that guys can get it also. A few questions that i still have it how did cancer start and where did it come from? My other one is when we will we have a stong cure that doctors can use on the patiens so that they can live the reast of there life.?

Cancer Project

5 things I learned about Cancer. The cancer I had was Prostate Cancer, and usually African American men get this which I didn't know. Another thing is I never knew that there were so many cancers. I also never knew that prostate cancer was in the guys part. I also didn't know that cancer could be passed down by other family members. Also that working out can help you get rid of your cancer, and even eating healthy. 2 qusetions I still have are how did cancer even start? Another question is why does cancer spread so quickly? Something I liked about this project was that it was interesting learnging about a cancer that I didn't already know about. Something I didn't like was that I couldn't find some of my research I was looking for.

Lilly's Cancer Blog.

5 things i learned from this cancer project:

1. p53 is a genetic mutation that affects the control of the cell cycle or the check points.

2. cancer can be passed down from family.

3. malignant is cancerous, and can cause damage.

4. Benign is not cancerous.

5. i learned that there are many different types of cancer.

One thing i liked about the project is i learned a lot of new things i didn't know about the cancer i researched. it was a cancer that has affected mine and my family's life and it was really great to learn more about breast cancer.

One thing i didn't like about it was that i didn't find everything i was looking for. there were still unanswered questions.

unanswered questions:

1. what is the youngest someone can get breast cancer?

2. why does cancer spread so quickly?

Taylor Cosper's Cancer Blog

Five Things I Learned From This Cancer Project

- Malignant is a cancerous item

- Benign is a non-cancerous item

- Also, that carcinogens are cancer causing chemicals

- I also learned what p53 is. It is a genetic mutation that affects the control of the cell cycle or cell checkpoints.

- I also learned that end result of the cycle of Meiosis is you end up with 4 haploid gametes.

Two Questions That Were Not Answered During This Cancer Project

- Is there a test you can take to determine whether or not your whole family can get a cancer.

- What is going on in stage 3 of a cancer.

One Thing Liked About The Cancer Project

- One thing I liked about this project is that if someone didn't do his/her work it didn't affect everybody in the entire groups grade. Also that you picked the groups.

One Thing Not Liked About The Cancer Project

- One thing I did not like about this project was that we had to present them.

Ashley's Cancer Blog

5 things I learned:

I learned what metastasis is. Metastasis is the movement of cancer cells from one region of the body to another.
I learned that pancreatic cancer is a "silent killer" because it is rarely caught in the early stages.
I learned was that tumors form from cancerous cells that divide rapidly.
I also learned that all tumors are not cancerous, some are benign while others are malignant.
I learned that there are checkpoints in the cell cycle. They are the G1, G2, and spindle checkpoints.

Questions:

If someone had a family history of cancer, does that person have a high risk of getting cancer?
Is there an age that people have the highest risk of getting cancer in general?

Like:

I liked how every group got a different cancer to research so we could learn about multiple cancers, and the presentations were not repetitive.

Didn't Like:

I did not like how we only got about a week to do this project. I think it would have been better if we had more time.

Cancer project

In this project I learned that all tumors are not cancerous. I also learned that the malfunction in p59 is the mutation that allows cancer cell to grow. I also learned that cancer can be caused by many things from some food and drink ingredients and from naturally occurring chemicals.
I still have questions on what is the safest way to treat cancer, and what is the most common type of cancer?
My favorite part of the project is that you get to pretend that you are the doctor and choose what type of cancer it is.
The peace I dislike about this project is that it when by quickly and we werer rushed throug the whole thing.
