Technology

Technology WorkHey Bloggers , For the past three weeks on Fridays Te Waka Ako has been doing some technology work. In all our classes we have done some work on technology. In Hauraki we made a Geo board out of wood, in Waitemata we did a technology challenge called the BP challenge, and in Manukau we did a technology circuits of electricity.

Geo boards   So on the first Friday I was in Hauraki with Mr Kim and Ms Sands doing the Geo boards.We needed Cardboard, a hammer, nails, ruler, rubber bands, marker.First of all we would need to use our ruler to measure the wood 12 by 12, then cut it with the chainsaw carefully ( you would might need someone to help you ) .Next take your marker and your ruler, and measure it 5 meters and put a dot on the wood with you marker, and keep on doing that.Then use your hammer and some nails to hammer the nails on the dots but don't hammer it all the way in, then when you have finished that you can use your rubber bands and make shapes or pictures with it.I learnt that to patience when I am doing something difficult and to not rush it or else I wont do it right.   

The BP challenge

The second Friday I was in Waitemata with Mr Ratternburry doing the BP challenge.We needed 1 marble, 3 pieces of paper, 2 pieces of tape that was 2 meters, 1 plastic cup, 3 normal sized straws, 4 ice-block sticks,5 pick sticks and 2 meters of string.First Mr Ratternburry told us the rules, The rules was that your project can't touch the floor, it has to be table height sot that mean it can be lower than the table.I  learnt to work as a together as a team.
