Tech #9

Closure

This is the last week of tech in sixth grade, we covered:

.levers. Project -catapult out of popsicle sticks

.truss. Protect stick truss, weight test

.cam. Project Atomitas

.atoms. Project bread boards

I think that tech was very fun because it was hands on, the first quarterly (library and computer tech) was very boarding because it was all online. I am going to still do things that we did in sixth grade tech in the future not just in tech this year.

 

Tech #8

What makes up an atom?

An atom has a couple of parts, electrons form a circle around the nucleus electrons are basically electricity protecting the nucleus which has protons and neutrons. There are different times of atoms in the scientific table, each one has a different weight, size, rings, and amount of ingredients.

Tech #7

What is a bread board?

A bread board is a templet for making circuits with wires and other things that can make different things happen using electrons. I made a circuit using a bread board this week and it turned out being hard because you had to put the wires in exact places or it wouldn’t work.

Tech #5

Making a cam

I could definitely see other people struggling with making there cams, I don’t blame them they are very hard to make even the slightest part you glue of could make it break. But unlike most people I found it quit simple actually. I made it the first day of class before any of my other classmates, but I had one mistake I accidentally made the pole that goes up and down to wide so it didn’t go up and down very smoothly but I just made another one, problem fixed.

Tech #6

Atoms

On the first day of learning about atoms I didn’t know what to think, I didn’t know why we where learning about atoms in tech, but than we learned how they can make more sturdy building by putting them closer to gather, but don’t get me wrong it was really interesting. People first started thinking that earth was made up of somethings that’s all the same. Instead of just thinking every thing was made up of eliminates like fire water earth and life.

Tech #4

Cams

Cams are basically atomitas, they make a movement like something other than its self, for example a bear can lift his head and roar, so can a cam. A cam can do that because it has an off-centered circle that spins moving something up and down or side to side, but it can get really complicated like if you made the circle have a lot of ups and downs it could even wright like a human.
