We All Live in the Yellow Submarine~

We all live in the yellow submarine~ the yellow submarine...the yellow submarine. It was SMASH Day on Monday this week, and we did an activity about building a periscope that is capable to see the treasure up on the island and the box was representing the island. There are things in the box, and we have to find each stuff in the box and write it down. The materials we got are 10 piece of papers, 4 mirrors, few cardboards, and as many tape as we needed.

Team work was totally important, and Jen, Vivian, and I were working well together. We kind of split our jobs, 2 people working on the design of the periscope and one testing on the angle of the mirror that we are going to put on the periscope. The angle was very important, because we are only allow to stay in the submarine, and if we stand over the table then we automatically died. We were modifying our design all the time, because we want our periscope to perfect, and there will be no mistakes during the treasure hunt. When modifying our periscope, we tried to put a thing in a box, and then we use our periscope to observe it, check whether we can see the object. We didn't actually communicated, but we did try to help each other, hold the periscope while one person is observing the object. We take turns to observe, and we give ideas when ever we face a problem, I think all of us are being critical thinkers and problem solvers during the SMASH DAY.

I might say that make your periscope long, and bend a little at the top, so the top of the periscope can actually reach into the box. Be careful with the angle of the mirror too, because the mirror has to be connected, and so you can see it underneath the water, or in the submarine. That's what I think people should be careful about when making the periscope. Good Luck if anyone's making it. :D
