Motat

LI: to learn about STEAM
We went to MOTAT which was a really big museum with interesting and amazing stuff. We first went looking around MOTAT viewing artifacts, and saw a bunch of cool things. We saw a fire station with a firetruck used back in the days. We even saw a telecommunication exhibit with dial phones, and stuff like Morse codes. We then saw a car exhibit and saw a super car, a car that Queen Elizabeth 2nd used, and saw car engines. Next we saw a old village with a classroom, church, workshop.

When we finished looking around we firstly made an electric car! We first had to make the body of the car using cardboard. The he engine was a motor and a fan. The wheels were small wheels, and a skewer. We then had to connect the parts in some way.

Lastly we made a flashlight using some connecting blocks. We first had to use the motor again, and connect a LED light to the motor and span a cog to make the light flicker. We then had to use the connecting blocks, cogs, and more to try to keep the LED Light on instead of it just flickering.
