Project Goal
Analyze the properties of the non-Newtonian fluid corn starch by comparing its reaction to slow and fast speed impacts.

Week's Assignment
I will look up ideas for building a ramp that people can walk up and walk down before and after walking on the cornstarch. I will design a frame that will contain the cornstarch mixture.

Summary of Work Done
I found two ramps that could be used for the kiddie pool.

Week's Assignment
I will look up the heights of different kiddie pools to see if they are all standard. If they are not then I might have to alter the ramps that I already have. I am also going to make models for what the pool will look like when setup with the ramp.

Summary of Work Done
I found out the best types of wood to use for a ramp. I will need wood that is strong enough to hold the weight of a person. I might need to add a skid resistant surface to it in case the wood is too slick. I will use pressure treated wood because not only is it strong but it can be used in all climates and it is cheap and easy to find. The only hangup I have about it is I read that it should not be used indoors so if we were to do this indoors we would use another type of wood like masonite or plywood.

Week's Assignment
I am going to get exact measurements for the two ramps so I know the size and amount of wood to get and then put the wood frame on the ramp. I will also make scale drawings based on the measurements I record and get the appropriate size and type of wood.
