Chapter one: day one: Science Fair season begins.

Today I went to Ut's Civil Engineer department along with a group of students (whom i already know) to discuss which project ideas are made available to us. I was quite excited about this trip reason being that many good ideas could be available. To my surprise there was only five. After an 2 hours of discussion i have finally decided to take a project that immediately caught my attention, "how far do equally weighted objects travel over different surfaces?" Plainly looking at it it seems easy, but further going into detail i must research kinetic friction and and apply different changes on the surface like for example, sleet. After the first day i have gathered necessary equations and have researched about the different types of friction. At the moment I'm having problems locating the necessary measuring devices, which my science teacher pointed out, could be located in a shed in the back of the school. By tomorrow,hopefully, i will have started making my presentation and probably began experimenting. Peace, J.C
(Hey this ain't bad, this is my first time blogging and i feel that I'm expressing my ideals pretty well ^_^)
