Today I am going to tell you how I made my circuit. First you have to take a positive wire and connect it from one side of the battery to the light bulb. Then you take a shorter wire and connect it from the switch to the other side of the battery. Then you take another short wire and connect it from one side of the switch to the other side of the light bulb.

Today I finished my flashlight by putting my soldered curcuit in my flashlight. First I had to drill holes where the switch and light bulb then I had to solder the curcuit. And then I had to put the curcuit in the flashlight. It was really fun and then I had to take a picture of it and I got to take it home.

This week we are making a flashlight in technology. The story behind this is that a while ago a soccer team got trapped in a cave and we are making flashlights to help them. We have to make a diagram to plan our flashlight. Then we have to have it approved by Mr.Calvert. And then we put the cuircits in and then we build it.

We learned about atoms and circuits. Basically the atoms are the particles that make up everything. Circuits are things that are circular and they make  the electrons pass through the circuit. It is pretty cool and it has been a theory that has evolved since ancient times.

Today we are doing solder people. This is where we use wire to make people. I thought this was very cool. How it works is that you put the solder gun on the person and then put the solder on and it literally makes metal glue. There is a lot of danger involved though. It gets up to about 800 degrees f!

A lady came in at technology to talk about ivory. To make jewelry people use ivory from elephants. This is very cruel and this lady uses a nut from the rainforest. The specs and size are almost exactly the same! This is an alternative way that is not so cruel. She came in during Human Rights Day.

This week in Tech we are learning about self-driving cars. We learned that self-driving cars have to think and act like humans. After this we are going to make switches where we flip a playing card and whatever color it is we turn on the corresponding switch. We also learned that self-driving cars have a lot of pros and cons. One of the pros is that in theory you could multitask. One of the cons is that their have been a lot of accidents involving self-driving cars.

Hello World

Hi, my name is Aarav. I’m 10 years old, and I live in New York. Also I just started blogging I hope you enjoy this post. My favorite hobbies are playing baseball, reading, and playing tag.  I play in Little League and once when I was playing first base and the batter hit the ball and it went straight to my baseball mitt. it was about to fall out, but I clutched and I caught it!

I like reading too. Right now I’m reading the Percy Jackson series. I usually read everyday but sometimes when I am distracted  it’s impossible for me to read because I like to read when it’s quiet.

I like playing tag because usually when you play tag you do it outside. And I like running outside, when it’s summer. Also whenever I play tag it’s usually really fun. Once when I was  playing Infection (a version of the game) with my friends we locked ourselves in a room so we could not get tagged. We were safe until my brother stood at the door and my friend tagged him from under the door and then he tagged me.

Anyway, enjoy my blog posts (when I post them.) So, bye until next time.
