Week 4 Reflection--Jun Jie

Due to our secondary 2 adventure camp this week, we missed our IPW period. However, we still managed to meet up just yesterday to discuss on the 4 main points of research/guiding questions. They are as follow:

1) What are the materials needed to built the boat?
2) How do we prevent the boat from sinking?
3) What is the maximum pressure on the ship before it feels strained?
4) The amount of force/electricity needed to be generated.

However, we also have other important sub-research questions, such as:
1) How to connect the turbine without using wires?
2) How are we going to find out the amount of electricity needed?
3) How are we going to counter the irregular frequency of the flow of water?
4) What are the properties of different turbines?
5) What are the standard rules for building the ship?
6) What are the factors that put pressure on the hull?

Therefore, the main 4 research questions are already split equally among the 4 of us (1 person research on 1 question). As for the sub-research questions, we believe that while searching on the main 4 questions, we will also be able to find the answer to these questions.
