Tech #8 – Measuring Pipes

For the past few days, we’ve been working on measuring different types of pipes. We got a piece of paper that showed four different objects. Two were pipes, one was for connecting pipes, and one was for closing the open parts of the pipe. There were arrows going around each object. We had to put the measurements of the pipes where the arrows were. We measured the two pipes using a ruler, and wrote the measurements down next to the arrows. Then, we drew the pipes on graphing paper from scratch. For this part, we had to rely a lot on the piece of paper where we put all of the measurements for the pipes.

When you finish measuring the first pipe, you have to measure the second one. I repeated everything I did for the first pipe. I measured the pipe and drew the pipe on a separate piece of graphing paper. After you finish measuring and drawing the two pipes, you’re ready for sketching your design for your flashlight. I’m so happy that I finished the measurements and I’m so excited to start sketching my design for my flashlight.
