Inexpensive models

Think of inexpensive objects which can be used to model the objects in your arguments. For example, a bullet being deflected from kevlar can be modeled by a plastic ball bouncing off a plastic shield. People can also be modeled using mannequins.

Creative Arts and Science: Devices

Write how an action is done "for" a fun reason (e.g. the budgerigar 'arcs' the table as it lands, where arc is based on a separate object, a circle). Describe the two parts going well together for the device, or how the first object is related to the second. Include ten (10) devices per paragraph.
Note: 50 devices are also required for a philosophy essay.
Note: think of a reason why each device is interesting, why something else is interesting (there is a change in a reason for it) and how this returns to the first state. I.e. for "why" and "how" questions, think of a reason.
