Physics Project Reflection #3

I feel like in our progress we are working well together and we are moving along. But something that sets us back is having to redo things every time we go out and work. Things are moved, destroyed, knocked over etc. So sometimes when we get to work on our project during class, it's basically just resetting or redoing things that we had already done. That's been pretty frustrating. Inertia has affected our project in this one particular spot where we have the track going off the table then onto a loop on a box then onto the floor. When we first decided to do that we of course tried it out many times, and almost every time (before we had fixed it in place to where it's not extremely steep) the marble woud hit the first bit of the track then fly straight off. Getting that bit to work was also a bit frustrating. We have been working well together and agreeing on most things but most disagreements are fixed fast with a compromise and we move on from it to continue to make progress on our rollercoaster.
