Today Technology 7 set goals. We have Practical, Personal and Learning goals.
After Morning Tea, Mr Jackson set us a challenge to screw 4 screws and secure 4 nails into two pieces of wood. The screws and nails had to be exactly 4cm from the edge and spaced 2cm apart also they were not allowed to poke out the other side.
The skills that Mr Jackson taught us were,
1). Never choke a hammer always old it at the bottom of the handle.
2). Measure twice for accuracy.
3). Always hit nails with the flat of the hammer.
4). Screws go in much easier and straighter if you pre drill a hole.
5). When hammering gentle tap then hard tap helps with our aim.
6). If we don't want nails to go all the way in, put a mark on the nail to show when it is in far enough.
7). Hold the drill steady and don't wiggle it when pulling the drill out.
we had fun doing this activity and it has helped us learn new construction skills.
