The Mobile of Me project
In the Mobile of Me project, we created a mobile with 12 artifacts that represented ourselves. The heavier/ bigger the artifact, the more important it was to us. On our mobile, we had to have at least 4 tiers. We had to have at least 3 artifacts on each tier. Our class couldn't put anything in the center of the main piece, so we had to balance the artifacts and tiers out. For the mobile we also had to do calculations. We converted the weight of our artifacts from grams to newtons and calculated the torque of the tiers by using the weight and distance of the artifacts. At the end of the project, our whole team hung and displayed our mobiles in the 9th grade commons.
