Day 17: Reviewing the Manual

By -
The team continued finishing the write up for the manual and began reviewing it today. The plan is to have a few volunteer students test the experiment tomorrow to check whether the instructions are written clearly. Originally, the main objective of the experiment was to determine g experimentally and check its dependence on mass. However, after calculating the drag coefficient of the falling ping-pong ball two days ago, the team realized that including these calculations in the actual experiment would be a good idea so that the students can truly see the effect of air resistance on the experimental g . Therefore, the instructions for the drag coefficient calculations were added to the experimental procedure today.

Today, the team started working on the presentation and poster. This includes creating an outline on what we have to talk about. A rough outline is listed below: Introduction  Recap Changes in the procedures and equipment What we need to do next Introduction of the future projects From there, the team started to design the power-point presentation. We are using the previous presentation done on Summer I as reference material to keep the design consistent. A preview is shown below: Figure 1: Presentation Preview For the poster, we ideally want to include a photo of the old experiment and our new experiment to showcase the differences between them. An estimated cost comparison between old and new experiments (such as equipment used) should also be implemented in the poster design.
