Blog Post #3
This week I measured the top and the bottom of my wood with 2 things: A normal ruler and a T-Square. The T-Square is basically a ruler but ten times bigger. It has no lines on it like a ruler does, and it helps with making a straight line. After I drew my lines which were 6 inches apart, I went to the mitre box saw and started cutting my wood. To be honest, it was A LOT harder than I thought it would be. The blades teeth kept on getting stuck in the wood and in the end, my hands were exhausted. Finally, we measured the length of the front/back and the 2 sides on another plank of wood and then we started cutting that. Overall, this week was the most fun and I wish to keep enjoying myself in Technology 7.
Passion Project day #3
Today I accomplished all of my organization in the shark slide. I also splitted information into two slides. I added pictures so there isn’t only writing. I continued the snake slide. I learned that If the snake is fat and has a fat head, that means that it is poisonous. If it is skinny, then it is completely harmless. Tommorow I plan to get three quarters done of the snake.
Passion project day #2
Today I accomplished the whole shark category and started snake category. I learned that sharks kill approximately 10 people a year. I also learned all of these facts about sharks.
What to do if they attack you
How often do they attack you
Kills against humans
Where they live
Where we should be careful
Tomorrow I plan to continue the snake category
Stop Motion #2
Today was our second day of immigration stop motion video taking. We had so much success in our try today. We got to make our stop motion say TRANSPORTATION and then everything would get crumpled. Then it would say IN IMMIGRATION and the the letters would go into a pile. Then Finally, It would resort the pile and say by ALEX MAX AND HARRY. I am really looking forward to doing it again. This is a very good stop motion video I pulled up from youtube… https://youtu.be/ByGq-EdQ2L0
WE DID STOPMOTION hurray
Today, we did stopmotion. We had troubles like we had to change the angle of the camera and stabalize the table with a fat pack of post-its. In the end of 1 and a half hours we had a very good beginning.
Rube Goldberg Blog post #6
At first when I came to my partners house, we did not know what to do and we thought we were going to fail big time. #1, we couldn’t come up with a goal. On the next playdate, we came up with a goal! We had no idea how we would start our RubeGoldberg and finish it. We thought of box with dominos would start us of and that was actually a great idea (as you can see in the video which is in blog post #5). We had a great time and it was fun.
Rube Goldberg blog post #5
In my opinion, the hardest thing we had in our project was setting the dominos up again and again. Also, the easiest thing to do was to watch everything get knocked down. The easiest thing to do is the one that is really fun.
Rube Goldberg Blog post #4
I learned lots of stuff during this project! I learned that my concentration and patience really comes in handy. We had to set all the dominoes up a lot of times. That was the hardest part. Also, if we set up the dominos a lot, we will get VERY frustrated and we will get bored with this project VERY fast. Lets hope we won’t have to set it up a lot of times
Rube Goldberg #3 – HOW MUCH DOMINOS DO WE NEED…
When I came to my partners house I brought around 35-40 dominos and we were building and building with them but we actually needed more. Then, I got 55 more dominos and my partner and I still don’t know if that’s going to be enough but we do hope that is going to enough. In all that is around 95-100 dominos. We need all these dominos because our RubeGoldberg project is mostly going to be all Dominos.
Rube Goldberg #1
We are doing a Rube Goldberg project with a partner. A Rube Goldberg is something that has chain reaction in it. It requires a sketch and plenty of tries. For me and my partner, I think we will need around 50 tries until it works successfully. Here is a RubeGoldberg Gif.
