Hello everyone,

Yesterday in technology we worked on learning how to screw nails into wood. It was kind of hard to get the screw in because it was hard wood, and we had to punch the hole and screw it all the way in. I had trouble getting the screw deep inside the wood. I found that taking the screw out of the wood was much easier then putting it in. These are the tools and materials that we used for this activity:

We also used a tool called a vice which helped us to hold on to the piece of wood, while we screwed in the nail. I found that very helpful because before the wood was spinning around while I tried to put the nail in, but the vice helped keep it in place. The screwdriver was helpful to screw in the nail but I could not figure out how to always make it work. I felt that it was easier to screw in the bigger screws because when I tried to use the smaller one it would always fall or not screw in all of the way.  I also found it easier to use a bigger piece of wood, because the bigger ones were softer than the smaller pieces of wood.

I had fun learning to screw nails into wood and I am excited to see what we will do next.

Bye!
