Day 7

Today we figured out how to make a contact trigger. Mr. Peterson emailed us the link: http://www.hiviz.com/tools/triggers/triggers1.htm, which gave us directions. First we took a piece of wood for our base. Then we put foil on that wood. We cut out a "spacer" from cardboard and then placed foil on top of that by stapling it. We are going to use a tarp, or a piece of paper, or something that will catch a mess for the "cover." We did not have time to go down to the scene shop and take pictures, but we did make sure it worked by connecting wires to the two pieces of foil and pressing down to make the foils touch. This made the flash go off! We can't wait to try it out for real on Wednesday!
