2020 Technology | Year 7 & 8

Technology
Friday, February 14 2020

This is the first time to go to tech in 2020
Every Friday we go to Hornby Highschool to do tech.
Since it is my second year going to tech, I am quite use to doing the things there.

First, We went to Hornby Highschool on bus and get dropped off at the entrance.
We waited inside for our teacher. When our teacher came we were told to go in the class quietly.
The first thing we did was science.
This year, the year 7 and 8 are grouped together and there is 24 of us.
At science we experimented a little pins and needle. We were in a circle and had to hold hands to feel the electrocution.
It felt quite weird and fun.
So then we tried doing it ourselves and there was more shock since it was like little pinches.
The little box was a magneto. I'm not sure what it really is but it is like a little electrocute.

Then we sadly moved on to design tech. 
The teacher was named Mr Rees and he was from the UK.
I think that design tech is very hard and real hard work.
We got the instruction and just made a little keychain. Mine snapped :( I made a whale but since the tail was kind of too thin it snapped.
My friend Jorja made a random key chain with a wavy top. 
We did all the things we were suppose to do.
Cut, File, Drill and Ingrave. We didn't need to bend ours but that was bending ours was an option.

The tech ended with good end.
It was kind of a struggle but I'm proud with the work I do.

What I enjoyed: I enjoyed science because it was really fun and a great experiment to do
What I found hard: Cutting acrylic and the design tech
What I'd do differently: Different shape or more decoration on it
