Toy Technology


Walt: make a toy.

This term we were learning about mechanism. Early this week I had to think of a toy and I had to make my toy with the remaining stuff in the classroom. My toy was a toy that will make a dangling thing go up and down while I’m pulling the string attached to it. I had to make a toy because it was part of my topic study. It was really easy for me to get the material because I used the remaining stuff that people had not used. So that was really easy. The  trickiest thing with my toy was planning it and putting it together.

I think that I needed more help with  the wheels  because it kept on bending and it always ripped. When I was done with my toy I looked at it, and wondered if it needed more adjustments. I finally finished my toy, I waited for it to dry out and then I placed it in the library. When I placed it in the library I saw the other toys. I thought they were stunning. I thought to myself that it was going to break.

The next day Mr. Hendricks had to judge our toys. When he was judging our toys we were doing our writing. He walked in our class. He was talking about how great our ideas were. Mr. told us that Trey and Devon made a toy that was already made before. Mr. Hendricks was explaining the way we had made them and how we used the toys. He gave us comments and he finally told us who were the top three Matthew, Britney and Mikayla. We were all shocked to know that it was us. To me my toy was unique. In my toy I used wheels, axles and  pulleys.

Well done Mikayla, your toy is very unique toy. I liked your toy because I have never seen a toy like that, you should Patent your toy. Did your toy move when you tried to move it?

Hi Miky l see you are working on some toy and that it's a toy that goes up and down and you are a winner and I'm proud of you because I remember you said you were just making something random which is cool. What would you like to make next time? well done Miky.
