on To construct my switch I cut out pieces of cardboard using the scroll saw. After that I hot clued these prices together at about a 20 degree angle. Then I taped two pieces of tin foil to the inside of the pieces of cardboard. Now when I press the top piece of cardboard with tin foil on it down it touches the bottom piece of cardboard with tin foil on it and completes the circuit. Can’t wait to wire it!!
on This week are doing a self driving car game. Actually the car isn’t really going to move. When someone else from my table puts a card down I will press a switch depending if the card is red or black. If there is a red card on the left I will press the red witch, on the right the right switch. If there is two red cards I will press the stop switch.
on This week continued learning about atoms. We have watched a movie about atoms by IBM. They created a movie using atoms. They moved atoms to create a movie. It was about a boy and his friend atom. It was so cool!!
on This week in tech we started to learn about atoms. We learned how big atoms are. Turns out they are huge. To see them we will have to make the nucleus the size of an orange witch means an atom will be the size of the sun!!
on This week we have started our mechanical light switches. I am so excited for this test! I have been looking forward to it all year!! So far I have already waked my gears, decorated my switch components and today (Wed March 19 2021) I nam going to start putting it together. Can’t wait to use it!!
on In my train table I have done so much. I have completely finished wiring my table. The switches were especially hard. Since I wanted to hook it up to a toggle switch I had to research how to do. Turns out I only had to connect the toggle switch to a port on the control boar which connected to the switch. So far I’m really excited to start decorating.
on This week we started our cranks. I’m doing crank B. I have not gotten so far in crank B yet. I’m really excited to see how it turns out and build it. The science behind it is so cool. Cant wait to work on it again.
on Recently I have been making a model train set. I have just finished laying all my track down. I was a little messy in some places so the glue got on the track. I was able to get it off and the trains have been running smoothly. I also finished wiring they track. I had to drill a whole through the table an put the wires through. Then I sobered it to the track and the main wire under the table. Overall I was super happy with my project and I cant wait to the next step which is decorating!
on This week in technology class we learned about levers. On a lever there is the fulcrum, load and effort. On a lever the effort is the amount of force your using. The load is the thing your lifting. Lastly the fulcrum is the bending point of the lever. An example of a lever is a fishing rod. The load is the fish, the effort is how much force your using to reel it in and the fulcrum is where the fishing rod bends. Below is an example of a lever. 
on This week in Tynker I completed averages in math. I also completed what flag does each Countries have. In math I created a code to find a lot of numbers averages. In social studies i created agame that shows you contries flag and you have to say what countries flag it is. Most of the blocks I already have used before so nothing wads really so new. Coding is being used in each coding area by helping you solve stuff and making math easier and in social studies making a quiz. Below is a screenshot of one of the activities.
