There are a lot of 3D printing options but they all use the same technology. There are a lot of interesting steps that go into 3D printing. I thought it was interesting that things print in slices. The first step is to create a blueprint of what you want. The most common material used for 3D printing is plastic. But I think that it is interesting that they are using 3D printing for food.

In the 1920s it looked like a lot of work to cut down a tree. The process does not look very efficient and it looks dangerous for the workers. After they cut down the tree it also seemed very difficult to transport the lumber. In 1947 it looked a little easier to cut down the trees but it’s still a lot of work. It looks very time consuming to axe down the trees. To transport the lumber it looks harder in 1947 then it did in the 1920s I think that this is because before it was to dangerous and to make it more safe they needed to slow it down a little bit. But the technology looks a lot better in 1947. I was surprised to learn all of the information about the redwoods. In the third video it looks much wiser to cut the wood I wonder If the technology is better or because they are smaller trees being cut down. In the last video it looks like there running out of trees. But it looks very easy to turn the logs into lumber probably because the technology is much better.
Tech 7 blog post #1 building
For me, building is to create an object out of different materials. For example, during quarantine, I was bored so my 3 brothers and I built a fort in the basement and slept there on Friday nights. I don’t have the fort still up – my parents made us clean it up after we made a huge mess! We do still have the materials that we used to make the fort so we could do it again. It was fun to come up with this idea with my brothers because we worked together to build something that we could all enjoy. It was also fun to create our own rooms with different things from our house that were special to each of us. I can’t wait to do something like this again with my brothers.

this week in technology we watched 30 minutes of a movie and answered a couple questions to go along with the movie. After watching the movie I went and did some other research on the topic because I was very interested. Doing some extra research also helped me answer the questions. Next week is the last week of school so I’m exited to find out what we are doing for the last week.

This week in technology we made electric scopes. Except mine did not work my project was good and I made it the right way but it was not working. According to our teacher the reason that it did not work was because it was very humid and when it is humid it does not work that well. But I’m going to keep trying to make it work.

This week in tech we made Canopults. We made it out of popsicle sticks rubber bands and a bottle cap. I did not have popsicle sticks so I used chop sticks and it worked the same. It worked really well and shoots things really far.

This week we learned about trusses. I built two cubes and added trusses to one of them. the one with trusses was more sturdy it held and cup with pencils without bending when the normal cube Broke with just the cup. I had a really fun time building the cubes. And I’m proud of the results.
Tech second blog post
In the second week of Tech we started the I beam project. Mr. Calvert said that we didn’t have to build the I beam so I decided to design and create a new beam. It was really fun to create a beam and I think that it worked very well. I think that the one that I designed did better then the cardboard sandwich because it was thicker.
