on Ummmmm….
on Ok, so here’s the thing…
I wasn’t able to finish my project today…
Well, not exactly “unfinished”…
I finished building mine, but Mr. Calvert told will have to fix a bit of it because it wasn’t working well…
So, I will post the pic of mine on Monday when I get it!
Until then, byeeeee!
Suprisingly….. tech is coming to an end :(
on Hello to people who are reading my blog! This week’s title is different than the usual blog posts’ titles, as you may have noticed from reading my previous ones. Well…. I did that on purpose. Let me tell you why.
THIS WEEK IS THE LAST WEEK OF TECHNOLOGY THIS QUARTER!!!!!!!
When I heard this, my mind was like “WHHHHATTT?”, though some other people may disagree and be like “YAYY! FREEDOM!”
I am very dejected because it was really thrilling and elating, learning and participating in this class. ( Though I also always looked forward to looking for my friends who took this class after me A BIT MORE THAN PARTICPATING?!…)
I think most of my classmates will agree with me, that this quarterly was one of the best quaterly (or ies? I know it has to be plural, but I’m unconfident…)this year.
This week, we did this project Mr. Calvert said none of his students have done beforeee! It was making a mechanical light switch that you put on your lightswitch!!! (Sounds a bit confusing, right? Sorry for not being able to explain it better!)
It has been so exiting coloring and everything so far this week, though it has been a bit annoying simultaneously because the oil marker’s paint has been getting on my fingers A LOT. Other than that, it is very fun.
Here are the things I’ve done so far…..
1. I colored the parts that Mr. Calvert cutted out ( I believe..) with 3 colors of oil markers (light blue, white, and silver).
2. Then, I waxed the gears with some crayons.
3.Next, I started to build all the parts together, which was fascinating, but hurting… I accidentally hit my finger with the hammer today… 🙁 🙁
Well… I guess these 3 steps are the only ones I have accomplished so far!
I will post the picture of the finished product on Friday, so until then, bye!
Technology Blog post #8 Part 2
on Today, when I was doing the Nearpod lesson, a question came into my mind.
In the video I was watching, it said that what the person was showing was science..
I got a bit confused becasue right now in class, I thought I was doing Technology.
What’s the difference between Science and Technology class??
Technology: Blog post #8
on This is my blog post number 8 which means that the quaterly is gradually coming to the end….. 🙁
Honestly, I am a bit sad, mostly because I was able to conduct myriads of experiments.. I never got to do that in other quaterly(ies)*I don’t know if quaterlies is a word, so I’m just going to put it like that..
Well….. anyways, I will change the subject and start talking about what I’m supposed to write this week!
For this week’s blog post, I will write about the experiment we did in class yesterday!
In class, we did this experiment on Pararell circuits. At the beginning of the class, Mr. Calvert showed us how different types of circuits work, and taught us to be careful when doing the experiment. He told us to be especially careful and to even WEAR SAFETY GOGGLES!!!! At first, I didn’t take it that serious, but when he PURPOSEFULLY showed us the wrong way to put the cords in the breadboard, the LED light literally exploded like CRAZY!!! I got scared and frightened simultaneously and my eyes widened out of shock! I think everyone else did, as someone shouted ” WOOAAHHH!! What th-?????” (Oh and to be sure, the student only said until “th-” not till the word that I didn’t put it here, so I didn’t just finished the sentence on purpose…)
After that, the room got quiet for a moment and we started doing the experiment on our own. The teacher came around the room to check if we were doing it in the right way, and when he came to me, he said I was doing a pretty good job! Yayy!! I was very excited and relieved! Thought there was a loose cord that came out of the breadboard I was using, Mr. Calvert just put it in really quick and fixed it, so when I put the last LED light in at the end of the class, it worked really well.
I just REALLY hope my experiment goes well on Friday and nothing like what happened to Mr. Calvert’s will happen to mine……….
Oh! and I’m sure about one thing in my project:DEFINITELY wear your safety goggles because you never know what might happen!!!!
