Cycle 2_Week 10

What are the three ways heat can be transfered?

The three ways heat can be transfered is conduction,convection,and radiation. Conduction is when objects are in directed contact with each other. An example of conduction is a pot on the stove. The better the object conducts heat, the faster it gets hotter. Examples of good heat conductors are steel,iron,silver,and copper. Convection is when heat causes an object to move up and down. An example of convection is rice being cooked. As the rice gets hotter, it raises to the top and as it cools, it sinks again. Radiation is when you can feel heat from a distance. An example of radiation is a camp fire. When you are at a camp fire, you can feel the heat come to you.

Week 2 _Cycle 9

Today in class we had to make a parachute. The goal of the lad was to get an egg on the ground safely and slowly. The challenge was that we had to get the on the ground in at least 10 seconds. If it is less than 10 seconds then that isn't good. The longer it takes to get to the ground, the better.

Blogging was real fun. I learned how to do things that I never knew how to do. Using technology thought me how to do things by myself like creating a website. I never knew how to make websites until I used technology. I think i did well on blogging. I only missed one. I think I did well on keeping up on my blogs. One thing I could improve on is commenting on others and giving them feed back what they did well and what they can improve on.

Cycle 2_Week 6

I have learned that engineering is not science. Engineering is creating the artifiicial. You can do alot of things in engineering. Theres Biomedical Engineering which help make technology for health care. There is Computer Engineering which deals with microchips that are put into electronics that we all enjoy like computers, ipods, and video games. One last engineering is Marine and Ocean Engineering which deals with getting oil from underneath the ocean floor.
If I can choose any engeenering to do, I would choose Audio Engineering. I would chose that because I like make noises and sounds. I can use those sounds to live my dream. One of my dreams is to become a rapper. I can use my education that I know about Audio Engineering to make beats and things like that.
