on Hey its me again and this is my last tech blog post. Tech seven was such an great experience, miss G made it so fun, we listen to music and had a playlist that we were allowed to play. It was also so fun to use paint glue and to have trials and see what worked and see what didn’t work. I also love spending time with my friends in class, tech seven was so fun and I hope to have as much fun in tech 8.
on Hey I’m back and today I’m talking about decorating. My inspiration for my box is a jewelry box hopefully I’m gonna have all my friends sign it on the bottom for memorable moment. My design was to have two sides silver and two sides gold, fortunately Miss G had a silver paint pen that worked perfect, but there was a slight problem with the gold there was no gold so I used a copper and it turned out just how I wanted at the end of decorating I decided to put a clasp on my box and attach the box with hinges so that could open both ways. This was so fun and such a great experiment.
on Hey Stella here and today I’m talking about the one we experimented with in class today. Today’s tech class was so fun we experimented with soft breakable wood and noticed that if you broke it one way it would crumble up to pieces but if you broke it the other way it would stay perfectly fine and have a line in the middle. This was so interesting and I’m hoping to learn more about it
on Hi I’m Stella and this is my first blog post as a 7th grader, today I will talk about what I have learned in 7th grade tech so far.This year we started off with a conversation about saws and different types of wood, I was assigned the bow saw, it was a fun and interesting experience to learn about the different types of saws and how they cut into wood so different. For example the bow saw is used to cut very thick wood such as on trees and stumps although the coping saw is much smaller and used to cut smaller wood such as wood working wood or thinner wood. In all the first unit of technology was very fun and interesting I am looking forward to the next units and what we study.
on It was very fun making my music video it gave me a new experience and helped me get used to other Blocks. It also was very stressful because it was very hard to make the dancers move on time. But other than that it was very fun go check it out at the the link below.
on When mr.Rose told us to watch this video I had no idea what it was about, of course I assumed coding but the video was more than that it was a lesson. A lesson about how you don’t have to be smart to be good at coding and its true that applies to Everything for example you don’t have to smart to be good at chess or to be good at anything. Just give it your best shot and I promise you, you will succeed.
on We have done so many projects over the first quarter such as: our solder pieces, atoms, self driving cars, breakout and waterproof flashlights. My favorite project is the flashlight because we got to have fun and we got to use all of the cool materials such as: the hot glue gun, the solder machine and the saws.
on In class we are making flashlights the flashlights are powered by a battery 3 wires and a LED we solder the wires and pieces together so that they all work together and make the LED light, light up this was a very fun project. My favorite part was decorating the flashlight. I think the part that I struggled with the most is making the sketches. I want to thank mr. Calvert and my friends for helping me.
on Right now you are probably thinking: what??? A breadboard? Like the one you use to cut bread on? Well I am not talking that breadboard I am talking about electronic breadboards. A Electrical breadboard is a board with a negative and a positive side, if you connect wires from a battery pack to the breadboard a IED light will go off. We are using breadboards to power our switches, if you read my other posts you will discover what a switch is.
on In class we are making switches. A switch is something that makes something light up in our case a LED lights. We have to try to make a switch where tinfoil touches tinfoil for my switch I used the materials:
1. rubber bands
2. hot glue
3. tinfoil
4. cardboard
5. glitter/rhinestones
I think that this was defiantly my favorite project.
