Capstone – Answering My Main Question – #5

Leave a comment

Hi! Welcome back to Samara’s World. Today and again I’m going to talk about capstone. For capstone you need a topic and a main question with sub questions.

Main question is, How has the design and function of assistive technology changed over time?

My answer, Alexander Graham Bell was thinking about creating a hearing aid because his wife lost her hearing. It was really sad for him so he tried to create one, but he falled. So he tried and tried, and gave up. One of his friends heard Ludwig Van, heard about his struggle and made the first hearing device the audio bone. Alexander got so amazed that he tried again and he made the first portable hearing aid. That was a long time ago in 1870s. Now hearing aids and FM monitor are so high tech.

That’s it come back to learn more about capstone.

Hello and welcome back to Samara’s world, today I’m going to talk about Capstone. In my capstone we all have to get a site visit and that’s what I’m to talk about.

I went to a place where they do hearing also we’re like audiologist work and everything and I went to their office and it was really fun. I thought that it was really cool to see what kids do, what kids work with, and what they work with in a classroom and find out some cool information.

I took pictures and got Pamphlet.

Capstone – Interview – #3

Leave a comment

Hello and welcome back to Samara’s world, today I’m going to talk about Capstone. In my capstone we all have to get a interview and that’s what I’m to talk about.

I interviewed Ms.G. It was fun, one reason why it was fun is because I knew her and the second reason is I knew her, she used to work with my mom and she works with me now. The hardest part about interviewing someone is, you don’t know who the person is or anything, but for me it was easy.

I asked her question like, how long have you been work?, what is your favorite part and more.

I also learned a lot more than I needed and that was perfect.

That is it.

Next site visit (Capstone)

Rube Goldberg – #3

Leave a comment

The steps for our process in building our Rube Goldberg changes a lot. We had to keep on changing because we didn’t really like the shape of the shape of the dominos.  The first set up had a marble run that hit the dominos, and then a ball, jenga pieces, DVDs, another ball, and then more dominos. The last dominoes had a pulley that would hit the balloon to pop it.  The next time we tried we changed the DVDs for a deck of Uno cards. We also changed the marble run to a electric car. Last we swapped the Jenga pieces and dominos. We finally had success.
