Technology (week #8)

This is our 8th week in Technology.

This weeks project was Parallel Circuits we used the wires we cut and stripped last week and put them in the bread board we also used other materials when we put this all together we made 3 led lights glow. It looked really cool.

Technology (week #7)

This is our 7th week in Technology.

We had two projects this week, our 1st project was to make our own electroscope, with these materials: a balloon, a paper clip, a clear drinking glass, cardboard, tape, tin foil, sweater.

Our 2nd project this week was to do measurement wire cutting and stripping wires which we will use for next weeks project.

Technology (week #4)

This is our 4th week in technology. We built levers this week, I made a catapult. The distance to the effort to the fulcrum is 50.8 millimeters. The distance from the load to the fulcrum is 76.2 millimeters. The Mechanical Advantage is 1.5.

I made a game with the catapult, it is who ever can launch the ball the furthest.

All in all, I liked this week in Technology, it was very fun making the catapult.

Technology (Week #3)

This week was week 3 of Technology. This week we learned about simple machines but mostly about levers. For this week’s assignment we had to make a structure made out of toothpicks and mini carrots, we hade to make trusses in it and see how many books it could hold before it fell. My structure was very good, it could hold 11 books (14 pounds).

Technology (week #1)

This week was our first week of technology, this week was basically like an orientation, all we did this week was a Nearpod about the history of glue.

Baseball is my favorite sport. I did not even realize how much technology is in the sport. There is technology in the bat, scoreboard, padding and much more.

Final Tynker Project

In my final Tynker Project I tried to make and astronaut say “I like science, what subject do you like” and then the audience would answer then I would say “that’s a good subject too” and then ask “what do you like about that subject” and then they answer then I say COOL!” It gave me trouble at first but then I eventually figured out how to make the audience respond to my questions. One of my favorite projects from my classmates is Dragon Wars.
