This was our last week of technology and it was really fun. We started by learning about breadboards. We learned how to make a led light light up. You do this by taking the longer wire on the led and attach it to the red wire. Then you take the shorter wire on the led and attach it to the black wire. The red and black wires are connected to the battery and as a result, they light up the led. Further in the week Mr. Calvert made breadboards for our tables with three different led lights on it. A red one, a blue one and a green one. Each of these three lights had two wires so that when you attached it to your switches, it would light up. Then we played the card game with our three switches. You basically take a deck of cards and split it in half. From there you would attach two wires to your switches. One on one tinfoil piece and one on the other. The one person flips half the deck of cards over and one person does the other one. The third person has to press down the switch that matches up with what the cards say. If there are two black cards you don’t do anything. If there’s a red card on the right, you press down the switch on the right and vice versa. And finally, if you have two red cards, you press the switch in the middle. This game was really fun, but hard because it required hand-eye coordination. On the final day we watched a documentary about the metals and why they were special. It was really interesting and tech was really fun.
