(This was the end result of the project)

One thing I enjoyed doing outside of class was the heat shield project. The heat shield project was a project where you had to make a heat shield out of specific materials including lasagna, cardboard, cotton balls, and a lot of other materials. The goal of this project was to make a heat shield with the specific materials that were under 1cm thick and 40g heavy and when everyone finished building their heat shield then we would put a blow torch on one side and leave it for three minutes on 2000 degrees. Another goal of this project was to put an egg on the cold side to see if it got burnt or not. My group made a heat shield that consisted of tinfoil on the outside cotton balls on the side where the blow torch was on. Then we had lasagna on both sides covering some spackling compound. Our egg ended up not getting cooked so my group was very happy that it worked and didn’t get cooked. The heat shield project was definitely my favorite project outside of Language Arts.
