PHYSICS - Impress me with your SKILLZ!
YES! You have made it! Through turbulent and crazy times, you have made it. Good job!!!
"But Mrs J, where is Physics?"
FEAR NOT my little Gremlin!!! I have planned a fun thing for you since the beginning.
The topic for grade 9 science is circuits! Let's first review the basics:

And now, for the project!!!
THE SHALAMALAM
BABAP BOP!
Or whatever you want to call it!!!
You can divide yourselves into groups of 2 or 3.
"mRS J, CaN wE --"
NO MORE than 3! No asking! I mean it! :(
For this project, you will create a contraption that works a certain way, to do a certain thing; you can use cardboard, wood, old things you may have, and even the 3D printers to print bits for your project.
You have until the end of class to impress me with your coding and creativity and design and ability of making something useful (or very useless but hilarious or at least mildly amusing).
To make your Shalamalam, you will be using a contraption called Makey Makey. Let's watch the video below to understand:

The Makey Makey interface allows conductive things in the world to be used as controllers.
"What are conductive things, Mrs J??"
Oh child. That's for YOU to figure out!

DELIVERABLES
The Contraption
A machine that works when plugged into the computer, controlled by code.
The Code
Scratch is recommended. You may research online and adapt/modify code already existing as long as you understand how they did it!
The Words
A one-page explanation:
- How does your project work
- What did you use
- What parts of it connect to grade 9 science
- What is the function
- Who did what
