Getting Started – Post #1

My new quarterly is technology. I technology you learn about the, well, technology of things. For example, right know we are learning about forces, and about how for different projects, you need to find the right material for the job. This week, I found out that the Titanic not only sunk because it hit an iceberg, but because of something else too. Keep in mind that the Titanic was was in freezing water. If the ship was sailing in normal water, when it hit the iceberg, it would just dent, and nothing serious would happen. But, since it was in freezing water, the material became more brittle, so it wasn’t stretchy enough to dent. So when it hit the iceberg, it shattered, and the boat sunk. In technology we will learn about things like that, and we will build things! I am so excited to continue!
