I have started the Technology subject. This is different than Computer Tech if you have seen my earlier posts.  We get to build things out of paper, cardboard, and wood. Right now we are building an automata which is a machine that does something in place of a human. We are cutting out and assembling ours out of paper. At the end of the year we will move on to wood. We are also learning about forces and simple machines. The six simple machines are the wheel and axle, the lever, the inclined plane, the pulley, the screw, and the wedge. They all help humans get a job done. For example it is easier for someone to push something up a ramp then just lifting it. I think we will learn about gears and what they do next, but I’m not sure. I am looking forward to what we do this year.
