This was a tough week for me. I only made it into school once and I had to leave early because I wasn't feeling good. The project was nearly impossible to work on throughout the week. The day I was at school we were able to go to Ace to get all the parts. We needed a hose T connecter, 2 hose barbs, and latex sheets from Ace. Ace didn't have any latex sheets so we got balloons instead which also work. We were lucky enough to find tubing and a ventilation ducting in Scott's class. He let us use it. The materials list came from a instructables.com post that we found and thought was very thorough and easy to follow. In that one day I was there my parter Myles and I got the metal cut and we started the process of marking where the holes would be drilled. There was a way that Scott wanted us to do it. He sat down with us and did an example of how he wanted us to mark it. I think this process was very helpful because it made the place where we wanted to drill so much more visible. To mark up the metal we put a thin layer of paint on. Once that dried we used a tool to scratch an X into the paint. Then there was a tool like a pen but when you pushed down on it it would leave a dent in the object. The results of this helped out a lot.
Since I was gone for most of the week I couldn't work a lot on building the tube. When Scott was talking to my partner an I about the tube he mentioned something about standing waves and he said that we should be able to tell someone what a standing wave is. A standing wave is made when two waves of the same frequency repeatedly knock into each other while moving in different directions in the same area.
