We worked on a water aerobics class, in Marina Barra Clube with the teacher Cláudio Ferreira. During the days of work in this place, we could notice that the classes always had the "warming" part, in the beginning, and in the end the relaxation part. The students were in the swimming pool the whole time, and teacher Cláudio was in the border demonstrating all the exercises.From the amount of words that belongs to the universal vocabulary of Cláudio, we recognized as objective for the project: "Enjoy the pleasure of swimming in the water and relax the head is delicious". When we got there, teacher Cláudio had been telling already for the students to relax their heads on the relaxation time. He asked for them to lay down on the water and float. He believes that the relaxation part is the most important part of his classes. Based on the experiments used and organized by him, we identified his intention of working on objects or gadgets that could be useful for the relaxation part in his class. Then we did colorful masks that are been used to darken the students vision and with that, favor the relaxation in the water. The material used was EVA plastic( yellow, green and blue), Velcro, black plastic bag and contact glue. To make the masks, we had to cut their shape in the colors chosen (on EVA plastic), glue the black plastic bag only on one of the faces of the mask and after a little while, glue the other face above, joining them. After this procedure we did little wholes on the both sides of the masks to be able to pass the velcros and after that we sew them so that they couldn't "left" the masks.

By the end of our project, we could notice that all the activities that were proposed had a big meaning so that the final project were realized. We also learned how to deal with those materials above and the most important: Learn to be open for everything.
