In our Atoms unit, we were learning mainly about the electrons, protons, and neutrons, but now we are learning about the different metals. Today we watched a video about the metals, which was really interesting. It only covered the more common ones, like the element metals, like gold and iron, but also the alloys, like […]

For example, when you stretch out a rubber band, it builds up on potential energy before it snaps. The other category […]
Tech #5 – New Beginnings
Hello! After another week of building automata, we are starting a new unit, regardless of where we are in our builds. We aren’t stopping the automata, only that if we have extra time we can work on it. The new unit we have started is soldering. For our first soldering project, we are making jewelry. […]
