Technology 10

I finished my flashlight. I did everything on my own, including soldering the circuit, sawing the pipes, and drilling the holes for the switch and light. I thought the sawing was the hardest part because the saw kept slipping. This was our final technology assignment, and I am proud of how my flashlight came out. I also like that the LED light is really powerful, and the flashlight is waterproof. I am really sad that technology is ending because I really enjoyed the class.

 

 

 

Here is my flashlight:

 

Technology 9

I am still working on my flashlight. Today I finished soldering my circuit. I just realized that our first unit prepared us for this step. If I hadn’t learned and practiced how to use the soldering iron, then it would have been hard to make the circuit, and I could have burned myself. That would have been dangerous because the soldering iron is 800 degrees. Luckily Mr. Calvert taught us how to use the soldiering iron safely and I was careful. Now I need to put flashlight together.

 

Technology 7

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.

Today in technology we working with protons and electrons to move two metal pieces in a jar. An electron is a negative atom and proton is a positive atom. We had to use three items in this project. One of the tools was used to move the two metal items. It was a plastic pipe. The next item was a piece of cloth that we used to move the electrons. We did this by wrapping the cloth around the pipe and then moved it up and down. The last item we needed was the jar that held everything. By doing this project, I learned about protons and electrons.
