What is energy

Energy is the power to allow us to do things, like walking, running and other stuff. It gives us the ability to move stuff and keep the world spinning. Energy also gives us light and heat and electrisay. With out energy no one could live. Energy is the base of life. There are many types of energy the two main ones are kinetic and potential energy. Kinetic energy is like something actually moving. Like a ball rolling down a hill. Potential energy is something that has the power to have energy like a ball at the top of a hill

Technology- we are special

Today in class Mr Calvert said that we will be doing something the other class’s did not do, mechanical movement. I really hope its fun and i cant wait. Yesterday we looked at boxes and they had weird gears insider them. Not what I thought was inside but still really fun. Though one of the box’s gears were stuck I still think the consept is really cool and I think I know my idea for the automata its going to be a big weel and I already made most of my cams I cant wait. It’s going to be amazing

Technology

Today we are working on out automaton project. Most of us are working on the frames and finishing the last few cams and followers. So far I’ve only burned myself only once, which is a very record for me.   I still need to make my two followers and drill two holes into the top and put the dowel in but I think I’m in a good position with my project

We are also starting a new project which is the flash lights. I really was looking forward  to this part because I saw other people use them in our house I’m super exited

power

power plays a big role in refuge like when Joseph has to take the role of adult because Hitler wants them out and his mom and dad have gone crazy and Isabelle has to help her mom because she is having a baby and trying to get away from the coast gard and when mamuded was in the sea they all had to be adult so the didn’t drown.
