Hi everyone! This quarter I am starting tech 7 and I am so happy about it. I have built many things such as a flashlight and circuits. These things were an assignment in tech 6 so I guess you could say my teacher her gave me the idea. I worked alone on both of these projects. To build the flashlight I used pvc pipe, an led light, wires and markers to decorate the plain pvc pipe. Once the flashlight was built I took it to camp and used it. Unfortunately I left it at camp which means I cannot post a picture of it.
5 days ago I finished my flashlight. In order for it to work we needed to have a circuit inside. This circuit was made by cutting wires to a certain length depending on the size of your flashlight. Then we striped half an inch off of each end of the wire. Then we connected a battery, switch and an led light in between the 3 wires. We needed a `way to keep the circuit together so we used sauder to do it. Once we made our circuit we put it in the flash light made out of PVC pipe. We made sure it worked then we decorated. I wrote a K in pipe cleaners on mine. I also put 3 rows of pink and yellow beads surrounding the led light. I then finished the decorating off by coloring it in paint markers.
