Description: Modern devices such as the projectile t-shirt launching
cannon is consisted of a handheld cannon with
a tank of compressed air attached at the base. Our
team explored new innovative designs in order to revamp
current state of the art products on the market.
The team took initiative to focus on a more autonomous
functioning device rather than a user-controlled
system. The design would have… more

Contributors: Dassa, Lori, Hernandez, Christina
Publisher: Florida Atlantic University
Description: The objective of my research was to determine if
whole brain teaching strategies could help increase
students’ academic scores in an urban elementary
classroom. To test this hypothesis, I created a pre/
post assessment cycle design focusing on whole
brain chants and gestures taught during a science
unit on the states of matter. Participants included
20 first grade ELL students at Park… more

Description: Spatial intelligence is the ability to conceptualize and
comprehend complicated visual scenes. Previous
studies have shown that scanning patterns change
based on the content and the layout viewed. For example,
subjects will scan a webpage differently when
imagery is present as opposed to reading text-only
pages. This study proposes the question: Does the
element of time have a crucial… more

Publisher: Florida Atlantic University Libraries: Digital Library
Description: In a tank filled with water at the bottom and oil floating on top, a straight rod reaching into the oil is set to rotate. The rotating rod is brought just above the oil/water boundary and is set to rotate at a speed greater than 200 revolutions per minute. It became evident that the rod’s rotation caused the oil/water interface to curve upward around the center of rotation, reaching up to the… more
