Tech Blog 1

For the first week of tech it was really interesting and fun. I loved the safety breakout it was fun and I learned a lot. During the breakout I got a better understanding of safety because it was fun and I actually had to pay attention to the rules to breakout. I also liked how when you gave us a tour around the room so I know what to during class. Overall tech seems fun and now I understand what to do and how to use the machines safely.

Passion/Compassion Project Blog Post #2

For my passion project on making jewelry with wires, beads, and crystals I will be reaching out to tutorials and websites on how to make jewelry and what material I will need. The resources I will use for making the jewelry will be getting beads, wire, and all of the materials I need from a store and from some of my left over wire from past projects. So then I will get it down by getting all the materials and watching some videos/tutorials on how to make the jewelry and start to make the jewelry.

Passion Compassion Project Subject

For the passion compassion project my passion will be doing jewelry making such as bracelets, necklaces, and rings. In chose this topic because I always liked making jewelry for myself, friends, and family. It also is something that I could do in my free time and something that always made me feel joy and comfort. So this is why I chose this passion.

My Reflection On My Wevideo

In my opinion, the wevideo was hard but fun! The hard part was forming the answers from the interview into a script that was supposed to be 3 – 4 minutes. It was difficult because  I needed to expand the answers from we video and make them into actual sentences. Another hard part was finding the right pictures online because some of the pictures did not go with my words. Even though it was hard it was also fun because I got to learn more about my mom and how she even got to New York. Another thing that fascinated me is how my mom had to afford a life in America, and how after all of that she ended up here in a nice house with 3 loving children.

Project Russia

Hello this is my realistic fiction story. It is about a girl named Jane who was to do a project on Russia and forgot to do it. So I hope you enjoy my story.

 

Post a #3 Maglev Train

Today, we realized that the sides of the vehicle were attracting to  the sides of the track. So we turned the magnets around so the sides of the strip magnets on the vehicle will repel. When we turned the magnets around the stopped attracting to the side of the srtip magnets on the side of the track.

Our track had three layers of long  strip magnets on each side of the track the vehicle had two short magnets on each side of the vehicle. It was successful because it was  not tilting and it was not bumpy it was really smoothly. The little weight in a cup the were not tipping and they were not falling out of the cup.

I learned that the track has to be smooth and not bumpy if you want something to go on top. You shouldn’t put to much magnets you only need to add two or four magnets for it to repel . The most important thing is for it to repel that is really important if you want to make your  own maglev train. For the EDP it will start with Ask,Imagine,Plan,Create,Improve this is the process of the steps of the maglev train. About working in groups it was really fun because we got to share our ideas on what we can improve this past week. So this was a really fun project so now you can make our own maglev train to.

 

Post #2 Maglev Train

For 6 months when we were in school we learned about science. Now we are on maglev trains and we also created one. We made our vehicle float, but we had problems so we had to improve.

So to improve our maglev train we had to put 4 more strip magnets to the track and two more ring magnets on the vehicle. Then it was very successful. We got it!

 

Before we got it we had to try lots of experiments. Our problem was  when we gave it a light push it would not go fully acros. It went in the middle. We tried to make it repel where the vehicle was and attract on the other side.It was repelling, but the magnet that we taped to the vehicle was scrapping the track. So we had to undo it. We took that magnet away and found a different way.

 

Our goal is for the vehicle to  levitate and not drift.

 

THE BALL PIT

This is my personal narrative. In our first  writing unit we learned about  the heart of the story,leads,and paragraphs. I chose this story because I really enjoyed the color factory. This is my first writing piece on my blog  that I ever published.

 

One day mom rushed to my room and said, “Wake up we are going to the Color Factory!”

I jumped out of bed and went to the car. When we arrived to the Color Factory in New York City, at the corner of my eye, I could see a massive Ball Pit!

I was so excited to jump into the ball pit, it looked so fun. I almost screamed, my  eyes almost popped out of my eye sockets and my legs almost fell off. I could see everyone having fun I just wanted to sink into it and never come up!

My brother Mark said, “We could play hide and seek.”

Mark was the seeker. I jumped into a big pile of balls it went so deep that I went to the very bottom of the it.

Mark couldn’t see me so he by accident stepped on me.

“OW!”

“Sorry!” Mark said. “I didn’t mean to hurt you.”

Then I saw a camera on the ceiling so we had to scan a card to take a picture. I sunk into the pit, but then I got up in time.

“Click,” went the camera. The camera shot that was bright I thought, so did Mark, but then we went to the middle to take a rest for a little and…play again!

For a minute I thought, “Where did Mark go?”

Then I saw some hair sticking out of the ball pit and I thought that hair looks just like Mark’s.

Then I was right that was Mark’s hair. “I found you,” I said proudly. Why were you over on the other side of the ball pit when I am here?”

“I was hiding,” he said.

“Well are we done playing for today?” asked my mom.  

I said, “Yeah I think it’s time to leave to.” I sunk into the ball pit I was so tired I said.”

That day was so fun I said to Mark. He also agreed that it was fun too.

“ I hope we can come back at least a different day,” I said.

My mom said,” Maybe.”
