Hi

It’s been getting a little boring being at home all day every day. I have been doing a lot of soccer and basketball outside. I have been watching a very good tv show called All America and at night I have been playing video games with my friends. I really would like to be with my friends right now, but we can’t be close to our friends.  I have been also going on a lot of runs.

Treasure hunt

I walk around my house all the time, but never noticed how many good tools and materials I have lying around. Here are a bunch of things I found;

materials

paper, cardboard, wrapping paper, glue, wooden blocks, glitter, paint, fabric, picture frame, sticks, dirt, thread, rubber band, yarn, stickers, gems.

tools

stapler, markers, stapler, scissors, hammer, screwdriver, camera, iron, pencil/pens, needles.

Technology

I used screws and wood and I out it together to make it look like this.
I found it easy to screw in the screws when you knew which way to turn it and you did up it before. It was hard at the beginning when you couldn’t put it in and it was really wobbly so you could not put the screw in. After that you realized at first you had to jam it in and then screw it in. The vise made it really easy to screw it in, for the wood wouldn’t move. The smaller screw were thicker and the longer ones were skinnier and I like those ones more. The smaller wood pieces were easier to screw in if it was skinnier. It was really easy to do it when you knew what to do and it’s very hard to unscrew the screws.

Scientists have confirmed that the epicenter of the deadly coronavirus outbreak which has infected more than 2700 people and killed at least 81, began in Wuhan, China. The virus first jumped from animals to humans inside the Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market in the heart of city. The market sold live animals including wolf pups, foxes, rats and peacocks. Other wildlife sold at the market, which has since been shuttered, included crocodiles, giant salamanders, snakes, porcupines and camel meat.

The wet market which includes live animals for sale has been said that they are what started the outbreak. I think that they should close the wet market if not done already because that is where it started and more people will get the virus if they get their food there.

Safety goggles

You have to wear safety goggles. If you don’t it is not good for your eyes. They are very important in technology. It helps with sharp tools and mostly soldering. As you can see they are very important.

Soldering

Soldering is a lot of fun! It is 900 degrees and it can melt medal. So you have to be careful because it can melt your finger off. The smoke is flying and it is really scary but fun. You obviously have to wear safety goggles.

Lightbulb

When you connect the circuits together it can turn on a lightbulb. You have to put on all of the wires in the bread board and that is how it can light up. It is really fun what your light bulb turns on.

Flashlight

We made flashlights and it was so much fun! We had to create a flashlight to get kids out of a cave. It took a lot of hard work, but it worked out. I decorated it and everything. It was a lot of fun soldering. We had to connect all of the wires make the circuit turn on. It was so much fun.

 

Self Driving Cars

A lot of people need self driving cars. Because if you can’t see you can trust the car and let it take you where you need to go. Also it can be t’s helpful be  because if just don’t want to drive for a reason then the car can drive. Also if it is helpful because you get a choice to drive yourself or let the car drive you.

Circtuts

We used circuts yesterday in class and it wasn a lot of fun! We used them to make a lightbulb turn on. We had to unscrew stuff and connect it to the wires of the battery and connect it to make it turn on. It was a little complicated. We had to brainstorm a lot of things to try to make it work. I finished it and I was very happy! Not a lot of people finished so that was a lot of fun using circuts!
