Now that my flashlight design is done, I am starting to make it. I think the hardest part of this project will be the sawing. The materials we are using are PVC pipes, wires, an LED light, a switch, and a battery. The tools we are using are a saw, a drill, and soldering iron. This will be my first time using a saw and a drill. I am really looking forward to the project.

We learned about a soccer team that was trapped in a cave for two weeks in Thailand. The team was rescued. Our next project to make a flashlight that is waterproof and a certain size. This flashlight could be used in a rescue. I started making my flashlight. I just finished my plan so all I need to do is make it. The most important part in my plan is getting the measurements right. Creating the circuit should be easy because in our last unit we made switches.

I finally finished all of my switches! Now I am ready to start the card game. This game will use my three switches and a deck of cards. This project has been fun and I have learned a lot about circuits. The hardest part of making the switches was using the hot glue gun on the tin foil. I needed to be careful that the glue did not spread out and burn me. I am excited to play the game!

Here are my switches:

Now we are on our next project in technology. We have just started making switches. We are making switches that turn lights on and off. I have already made one and I’m on my second. In this project we are learning about circuits. We used wires, an LED light, a breadboard, and a battery to make our circuit. It was complicated, but it was a lot of fun.

I finished the design for my soldering project, and now I am ready to start soldering. I can’t wait to get started. My design is a Red Sox symbol. I think the hardest part will be bending the wire to make the socks. I have been working on design for a long time on Vectornator, and I think it looks really cool. This has such a fun project and I can’t wait to see how my project comes out.
