The+Penguins

=The Penguins = AF Alicia, Xiao, and Dana Ms. Crozier's pd. 1 Physics 20

**Project Summary** __Outline __

For our project, we plan to sculpt a holiday penguin. We will incorporate the holiday theme into it by having the penguin wear a Santa hat, as well as hold a Christmas present. We also plan to wrap a string of Christmas lights around our ice sculpture. We hope that the Christmas lights will add to both the visual appeal of sculpture as well its holiday theme.

__Dimensions __

The penguin will be approximately three ice cream pails high, and one ice cream pail wide. This equates to approximately half a meter in height, and a quarter of a meter in width.

__Materials __

- Ice cream pails (3) - Water (to be frozen into ice) - Chisel - Hammer - Food colouring (red) - Christmas lights (one string)

__Week 1: Startup __ //December 1, 2010 //

During the first we week, we began looking for a suitable sculpture design. Having browsed through pages upon pages of extravagant, impossibly large ice sculptures online, we came to the conclusion that we would most likely have to simply design our own ice sculpture. Once we came to this conclusion, we started to think of ideas for what we could base our sculpture on. Although a few ideas quickly came to mind, few were suitable for this project. The majority of our ideas were either not feasible, or unrelated to the holiday theme of the project. Eventually, after much consideration, our group decided on making a sculpture of a penguin holding a Christmas present and wearing a santa hat.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">By the time the second week had come about, our group had already made a lot of progress. Not only had we finished our diagrams, but we had also completed our project summary and description, as well as gathered all of our required materials. Additionally, we managed to get started on the actual building of our sculpture, and were able to accomplish a fair amount of progress. We hope to have our sculpture completed by early next week.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">After the second week, we had completed the majority of the project’s requirements, and simply had to focus on finishing our ice sculpture. We’d gotten through the majority of our sculpting, but still had a little ways to go in terms of fine-tuning and details. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to make our original deadline, but we were still able to have everything finished by about Wednesday or Thursday—which was great, because it meant we were on time with the overall project deadline. Although our sculpture ended up being a little less detailed than we had originally hoped, we realized that our original plan would have been too difficult to achieve given the allotted time and available materials. In general, sculpting the ice proved to be a lot more difficult than we had thought, but was still a lot of fun regardless. All in all, we found it to be a worthwhile project, and definitely something we would consider doing again in the future. If we would do it again, the only thing we would change would perhaps to be give ourselves more time, as well as materials which would allow us to sculpt with more precision.
