pretty ugly parachutes.

 Hi, bloggers this week we made some parachutes to see what design would work best. We had to think like an engineer, we had to imagine, ask, create, and improve. Here is me and my group's work.

first, try 

We used String 2 bolts Green fabric cut on corners. We had a fairly big parachute it was 40 cm long and 32 cm wide we made it fairly big because that increases drag, and it will fall slower. We thought that we should add more fabric on the top but we realized that would make it heavier. Our design fell in 1.05 seconds, which isn't very good.     

  

second try.

We added more fabric on the bottom of the parachute so it keeps its shape.  When falling We saw it fall slower before we changed it fell in 1 sec .5 when we changed it. it fell in 2.00 seconds. We changed it one more time and added more fabric 1.44 it did bad so we took the new fabric off.

Samoan art

Kia ora bloggers this week we made Samoan art. 

We made one of the oldest and most important traditions of Samoa is the Siapo or Tapa.  It is a type of cloth made from the bark of the mulberry tree.  It is very time-consuming, because the bark must be harvested, stripped, separated, scraped, and beaten before it can be used.  It is then laid out in the sun to dry.

The artist uses natural dyes, created from items such as berries, bark, and nuts to make patterns on the cloth.  

There are 13 traditional patterns used on siapo that represent things common to Samoan cultures such as nets, coconut leaves, shells, and flowers.

Here is my design. Hope you enjoy it.

The background is brown dye.
