Skulls

This week Wednesday for our last day of tech for the term we learned more about our bones. We also started to sketch a skull of a dog I asked Mrs Sharma if the picture was real Mrs Sharma said "I don't know" from that moment on  I didn't touch it, my sketch turned out pretty good because I had help from Seleti. We read about how many bones we have and highlighted the important facts, one of those facts are when we are old we have less bones and when we are young we have 300 bones. We got told to point at the bones with the exact names. I really enjoyed sketching and we also have 4 more weeks at Mrs Sharma's class before we move on to the next tech group.

Bones and Skeletons

Last week Wednesday for tech we learnt about bones and skeletons. Our teacher told us to write down what we knew about bones, I wrote down "we have more bones when we are born. but less when we grow old". She pulled up some names about our bones, then we had to change the simple names into the scientific names. We also looked at a skeleton model and looked at fake bones and some real bones. Another fact is that the stapes is the smallest bone in our body located in our ear, and the femur is the biggest bone in our body.

Making a Light Switch

On Wednesday 17th of June we went to tech. We used the same tools, the battery and the lamp station. To change it up this time we had to use a voltmeter, a switch and clip wires. The aim was to make a circuit only with equipment we were given. My method was to double my positives to my negatives and double my negatives to my positives. The result was that when you switch the light on the voltmeter would go up and if you turn it off the voltmeter would go down. We also made our diagram about our work

Saving Energy at Home

Today for tech we learned about how to save energy. For our first task we had to list the 10 things that use power in our house, I listed laptop, Chromebook, fan, PS4, and more. We also had to list the 10 places that use power I listed KFC and the Internet Cafe.

 For our main subject we used a battery and wires to light up the bulb circuit, the method was to put the positive to the negative and the negative to the positive.


The result was the light turned on, we watched a video and we had to  out how they saved power. I wrote you should turn the things not you're using off and to share energy so you don't use that much.   

Going to Tech

Today on Wednesday the 27th we went to tech. After one month and three weeks of lock down, our first task was to order correctly the positive, negative and neutral things about plastic into our assigned book. We glued the facts into each of the categorises and we also helped each other out if we didn't know which fact went in to which category.


Our second task was to write if any of these plastics were recyclable (like bottles, milk containers,  plastic pipping and more.) We would say yes or no if it was recyclable or not. It was our last task Mrs Sharma told us to write the major and minor change you were going to do. The changes that I am going to do is not to use plastic and pick up any plastic I see.
