This week in techno0lology we are learning about cranks. One example of a crank that you might not know about is in your car engine the pistons are moved by cranks! We also built our own cranks, when I started it, it seemed like a daunting task. But I overcame the challenges and ended up making a successful crank! Overall this was a great and interesting week!

This week in technology we were putting our knowledge of cams to use. We used the cams to make a mini autamotaun that moves something up and down. When i made this I hade some issues such as it would go up but not come down. I solved this by putting mini weights where the stick was. This was really fun trying to figure out my issues and how to fix them. Overall this week of technology was very very fun!

This week in technology we learned about wheels, axels, and cams. It was really fun because it was a lot of simple machines! WE got to build a catapult with a game to go along with it. I made a very simple catapult made out of popsicle sticks and rubber bands. My game was that you have to try and knock down cups while using the catapult, this was a very hard game. Overall this was a great week for technology!
