Overall I really enjoyed tech and it was really fun. I learned many things and I loved all the projects. I loved the wood piece project, the switch project, and the flashlight project. Im really sad techs ending. In the end tech was really enjoyable and entertaining!

This week I started to solder my wires. I soldered my wires, switch, battery, and light. I loved the soldering the items together and it only took me one class period. I put my flashlight together and tried it many times and it worked!

This week I learned how to use the drill saw. It was really interesting. After I learned how to use it I drilled a hole into my cap and into the pipe where the switch was supposed to be. After that I started to decorate my flash light. This week was really fun!

This week we started making our flashlight. We learned how to cut the pipes with the saw. I loved using the saw and it was really fun to cut the pipes. Overall it was really fun. I really enjoyed starting this project.

During this week we started learning about flashlights. I learned about energy and and how flashlights work. We tried using a website that shows how flashlight are made up of. This whole project seems really fun and and I can’t wait for the project to start.

During this week we have been working on light switches. It was fun, but difficult. It was fun because I could design the switches and make them look snazzy. It has difficult because I could find many ideas and it took a long time to make each light switch. Over all it was pretty fun.

This week mostly consisted of workshop days. It was really fun because we got to use Vectornator. We finished our project for Mother’s Day and we started our projects. I made dinosaur earrings. The whole process was super fun I would love to do it again.

During the course of the second week of tech we learned a lot. We learned more  about atoms. We learned how lightning strikes and how its attracted to water so when it rains there is a chance of lighting. During the learning process I got struck by lighting. Overall the lesson was really fun and I learned a lot about how lighting works.

I have been working on my capstone and doing research for about two months already. My research and interview were my sources for all of my knowledge on my capstone topic which was how did the reason for animal extinction change over time. I had some struggles and strengths. First I had to find a person to interview. That was hard because I didn’t know where to look. Finally, I found a website called Outschool where you can talk small classes at home. I got a private lesson with a person called Todd Lotich. After my interview process focussed more on my research. I found most of my research on a website called Onekindplanet and a book called Extinct Animals An Encyclopedia of Species that Have Disappeared during Human History by Ross Piper illustrated by Renata Cunha and Phil Miller. My strength was my slideshow I found some of my images at  SnappyGoat.com and  Flickr. I am really with how my project worked out and I hope I gave you some knowledge of how people collect research, images, and more for capstone.
