Trusses

This week we learned about trusses. Trusses are usually triangles, but not all the time, trusses can be a square for example, you can put two triangles into a square. You can put triangles in other shapes to reinforce the the shape.

Crank shafts

The first crack shaft was created in china in the early 1st century. Later the romans created the first automated crank shaft that gots its move from water. Crank shafts play a vey important role in making a car move, they push the tubes up and down making it able for the wheel to spin.

Building a better beam

For this week we did the building a better beam experiment. Each one of us designed a new beam based on the normal one. Mine had was the normal one but it had a twist, i put in between the space or the beam little paper card board pillars. It holded much better! It could hold 11 books! Of course that is not a real beam the people use for building things, but that one is made of card board!

Truss experiment

This week’s project was the truss experiment. It was really fun doing it so I thought why not teach you how to do it! So you will need 12 tooth sticks and 8 peace’s cut of baby carrots or some thing you can stick the tooth pick on. The use these tools to make a cube! Once you do that get books and place one by one on top of your cube. See how many it can hold! Mine holded 9 books.
have a great day 😊

Blog post two

In class today we learned about atoms. Atoms never touch yet they are the ones that make up our universe. This is so cool! Think about it, atoms never touch but they are the reason that the space exists, atoms are reeealy small, but the universe is really big! Such small things make a such big thing!You cant even see a atom through a microscope!

Cam

today we are doing the cam project, i did two. The first one did not turn well, i glued the thing that moves to the top of my cam, and that made it not able move up and down. The second one i did was cam B i made sure to follow instructions carefully this time.

 

Spreadsheet wellness log (:

On todays wellness log, i added pictures and i added under the pictures the following: running, walking, biking. On top there were the days of the week. On Monday i ran 10 minutes, i walked 10 min and biked 10 min. I selected the cells that i wanted to add together, and on the bottom of the page it showed me what the sum of numbers was. There are many ways that the spreadsheet can be helpful, but if i had to think right now of one subject that the spreadsheet could be helpful would be math, because then it can do all the hard work for me hehehehe (;

Walking (: 10 20 15

Today’s assignment was one of the ones i really injoyed ( except the part that kept saying error, error ERROR….) it was challenging and fun i had a great time doing it. I even showed my parents so they could try it out! (:

Learn to code

To be fair this project was harder for me, i kept getting many wrongs, i had to look at hints to figure it out the solution. I was only able to do two of them because I spent a long time doing those. But over all I could say I injoyed it!
