We made and tested out catapults on flip grid and we got to launch a object from the catapult.

We learned about a simple machine called a lever and learned hot it worked and what it purpose was.

We did a truss experiment and used toothpicks and chopped carrots to create a shape we believed would be a able to support a certain amount of weight and then tried it out.

This week we are also learning about I-beams and how to make them.

I-beams are a very common structure that are usually used sand built to support the weight of something. You probably don’t even realize but there are I-beams  everywhere.

We had to make are own I-beams and test them with garbage bags on Flipgrid.

This week we are learning to make trusses with carrots and tooth picks.

The goal is to try to stack as many heavy things on top of the truss as you can before it breaks.

Something i learned was that when using a square shape the tooth picks slant and detach from the carrots. So i think the best shape to make is a rectangle or a Triangle/Pyramid.

This week we learned about automatons and how they function/work and what they are used for.

I think it’s really cool how someone can create a human like machine with gears , metal and control that serves a real life purpose.

While using tynker i had a lot of fun doing this project i was only able to make one or two questions with out it doubling the characters.

For this assignment you had to log down the daily activities of your life on a spreadsheet.

You had to add a graph of your  weekly activities to do this you double click on the Spreadsheet and then once you see a plus sign you click it then choose Graph And then you get to choose which one you like the most. To create the log you just had to make a copy of your old one and then come back and fill it out each day. Spreadsheets are also helpful with math because you can create formulas to answer the equations for you or auto type them.

I think this was  a really fun experience but it was kind of hard to insert and come up with questions-Madeline Lassiter

This Puzzle was hard for me because it focused on turning multiple times and having too know how to make as least amount of codes as possible but it was hard because it didn’t work when their were functions to be repeated. So i ended up using the code collect Gem, Move forward and sometimes turn right or left.
