Post 2: Presentation on Penny Weights

At the beginning of this project I thought it was somewhat fishy that we had to put together a presentation about how to determine the weight of a penny and it had to be at least 7 minutes long.  I had a feeling that all the history and nonsense we put into the presentation was pointless but I was unsure how else we were going to make a 7 minute presentation about a simple topic.  We did put some scientific reasoning to solve the answer but we went about creating the presentation the wrong way.  I should have stuck with my gut feeling and try to think outside the box to make a much better presentation.

After listening to the other presentations I could tell that all the other groups were going about making the presentation the same way as us.  Some groups added a few different quirks but for the most part all the presentations were the same.  There didn't seem to be a group that stood out amongst the rest.  There also seemed to be a lack in scientific evidence to solve the problem which is odd since we are all science majors.  This could have been improved upon along with thinking outside the box to create a more entertaining presentation
