After I finished my flashlight, I started using the blocks to make figures that are hard to make because it is based off of balance. I had to use support blocks while I was putting it up and then I took them out at the end. The first structure I did didn’t work but the second one did. Let me show you a picture.

IThis is the one that stood up for a long time until it took it down.

In order to power my flashlight I needed a switch, 3 wires, and an LED light. I took a while because the solder kept breaking off, but I finally finished soldering and but the circut in my flashlight. I hot glued any place where water could let in so it would be waterproof. I was so happy that it worked after all the time it took.

When I started my flashlight, it took me a long time to draw my diagram to scale but I got it eventually. After that, I drilled a hole in the cap of one of my pieces for the LED light. I started designing my flashlight and glued grips on the end of my curved pieces that it would be easy to hold it. I loved designing my flashlight because I made it look like a flower. The straight piece that connects the pipes was the stem and I colored it green and the cap was the flower and I hot glued colorful bending pipes on them for petals. Then I put my name on the list to start soldering my wires.

We have been working on our switches for a while now. I have made three and they all. Work in order to make the light bulb light up, the two pieces of foil must touch, closing the circut.Today we are playing a game using our circuits. The game was very funny because I kept messing up! I learned that use can use conductive materials to close a circut.
