Paper Airplane

In technology over the last couple of days we have been making paper airplanes. At first I tried making my own paper airplane with no help, and it didn’t travel very far. Then after that I followed a video and I tested that airplane and it went really far. On the first paper airplane there was a lot of drag and that is why it didn’t travel far. Once I saw that the second airplane worked I was really happy and proud.              Here is a picture of the first one.

Making A Golf Club

I watched a video on how a golf club is made and it was really cool! The first step of making the golf club is the factory needs to start with a wax replica of the golf head. While I was watching the video I noticed that to make a golf club you put the head in 3000 degrees so it is easier to mold later on. I also noticed that the golf club is pretty malleable because it has too be stretched so it is a good size

Technology #9

This is my last blog post of the year for tech! School ends tomorrow. Even though we had to learn from home I really enjoyed tech this quarter and I can’t wait until next year. I feel like we learned so much and it was really fun.  My favorite project of the quarter was probably the I beam, I really enjoyed building that. Overall this was one of my favorite classes.

This week I didn’t have a project but I had to watch a short film. I thought it was really interesting and I learned a lot. It was about metals, I never really knew much about metal but know I do. After I watched the short film, I had to take a short assessment and answer some questions. I think I did really good on the questions and I’m very confident with my answers.

This week in technology we have been learning about electricity. I really enjoy it and I want to learn more about it. For this weeks project we had to make an electroscope. I thought it was pretty cool and mine ended up working. If I were to do This again I would make a bigger slit because it was really hard for me to get the paper clip in the cup. I am really enjoying this unit and I hope I learn more about it in the future.

Photo Essay#1

My English class got assigned a project, we had to create a photo essay showing our time through this pandemic. So far I have been working really hard taking pictures of things I have been doing. I just finished making my storyboard and I think it looks really good. I think the storyboard will be helpful when I’m doing my final product because I already have everything in order. For my final product I will be making a WeVideo. I chose to do this because I have a lot of experience with it and it is easy to work with. For some of my pictures I have a caption describing a little more about the picture. Most importantly I have chosen three key words that I am going to base my project off of. Those words are: Family Time, Boring and Relaxing. My storyboard is up above.

For this weeks technology project we had to make a catapult. I thought that it was really fun and interesting. I made mine out of a plastic spoon, a book, a pencil and a rubber band. Inside the spoon I put a eraser so that can get sling shotted. If I were to do this project again I would probably put something lighter inside the spoon like a marble or a penny. I think that the book was really helpful because it was really heavy and it basically held the whole thing down. Other then that I think I did a really good job on this project.

Technology #4

This week our project was to make something that is 3-d. We had to make it on this website called fab maker studio. I thought it was pretty cool and fun. I decided to make a cube and it actually turned out pretty good. The only thing I found challenging was getting my cube all set up on the website, I thought that was hard because I am not that familiar with this website. As we use it more I will become better and better at it.
