Shopping again - November 16
Dr. Sheldon and I went shopping again for one of the last hamster wheel builds. First we returned some of the little metal plates that we were going to use to brace the inside corners before we decided to use the T-braces and the angle braces instead. Then we had to get another 2″ x 6″ to fix the one brace on the base that was kind of messed up. And finally, my favorite part, we got to pick out paint so that we can paint it tomorrow. I decided that we should paint it rainbow colors, because it will look really cool when it spins. And also, the colors have to do with light and we are comparing it to solar power, so it seemed related. Rainbows are also just pretty and physics-y, so it seemed like a good idea to me. We picked out six colors for the rainbow and got some primer for the metal parts. I hope it is a nice day tomorrow, because we are going to be painting for a while. I’m really excited!!!!
