Today's class was ride presentation day. Mr. Manning started off class today by explaining to us how our ride presentations would be graded. Every student will fill out an evaluation form for each ride. The grading will be out of 50 points divided as follows: 10 points for presentation, 5 points for ride safety, 10 points for the physics of the ride, 10 points for the model, 5 points for the ride theme, and 10 points for the overall ride. Mr. Manning then asked for volunteers who wanted to go first. No one volunteered, so he just went in the order that he had his paper. The students would give their presentation, and then Mr. Manning would ask the presenters a few questions each. After Mr. Manning's questions, he would let the students ask questions about the ride. Then the students would fill out their evaluation form and Mr. Manning would walk around and collect all of evaluation forms after every presentation. The rides were very diverse and there were none that were close to being alike and the themes were very diverse. Even the types of circular and projectile motion were extremely different. Many people made models of their rides, but only a few groups actually made their rides be able to operate.
