WHAT IS TECHNOLOGY?

WHAT IS TECHNOLOGY?

The humans are able to solve their problems creating objects. Technology appeared to solve these problems. Technology is the combination of SCIENCE, TECHNIQUE and KNOWLEDGE.

Here you have five examples of technology to make it easier for you to understand:

 1.TRANSPORT : We needed something went to other countries or simply to went to a short distance. For example: to went from your house to your job, or to travell around the world, ... The first solution was the train, and then the ship, the plane, the car ... The materials used to built the train were iron and other metals, and wheels. They used complex techniques and elaborated systems.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             Resultado de imagen de transport free images                   
                                         
2.SUNGLASSES: We needed something to protect our eyes from the sun-rays. For example, when you are driving and you couldn't see the road because of the sun-rays. The materials used are dark glass and plastic or iron to built the frame. The techniques used were not very complex techniques.                                                                                                                                                  Resultado de imagen de sunglasses free image


3.WOOD BOARD GAME: We needed something to entertain the families. For example, in a winter day when you and your family are bored. To solve these someone created a wood board game.The materials used were wood and plastic to built the dice. The technique is a very simple technique.

4. MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS: We needed something to make sound. For example, in prehistory they needed something to scare the predators.  The materials are wood, iron, ... depending on the instrument.They used elaborated techniques to build it.

5.INHALATOR: We needed something to introduce the medication into the patient's body. For example, when you are asthmatic you introduce the medication into your lungs with an inhalator. The materials used were plastic and metal. The technique to build it is a simple technique.

IMPORTANCE OF TECHNIQUE, KNOWLEDGE and MATERIALS


The TECHNIQUE, the KNOWLEDGE and the MATERIALS are very important in Technology because if you don't have only one thing of all of these you can not due nothing in technology. These elements are key elements in technology.






 TECHNOLOGICAL PROCESS:

Here, you have a link with a mind map of the steps of the technological process.

WRITTEN PROJECT:

We do a written project before starting to create the object. Is used to know the materials we need, the parts of the object we have to build, what price is going to have, ...

PARTS OF A WRITTEN PROJECT:

1.Cover: with title,name and surnames, group, subject and curse.
2. Contents Page
3.Analysis of the problem and initial conditions.
4.Research for information, explaining the ideas found and where
5. Possible solutions (free hand sketches)
6.Sketch, with the measures, the materials,...
7.Materials
8.Planning
9.Budget

METALS

      METALS A material that can be in a solid or a liquid state and usually has a lot of electrical conductivity, one of the material properties. A good example of a metal it's gold. They are classified in two types ferrous and non-ferrous . Types of Metals 1.FERROUS METALS: they contain iron . Ferrous metals can be picked up by a magnet,they are not resistant to rusting. Some examples of ferrous metals are: a) Cast Iron : used to make frying pans. The principal properties of cast iron are:  - Resistance to corrosion - Hardness - Strength b)Carbon Steel: used in tools.  The proerties of carbon steel change depending on the number of carbon that contains. The general properties that nearly all share is: - Strength and ductility (as higher is the number of carbon content the strength grows and ductility is lower.)  -Strong metal - Resists to compression c)Mild Steel: used in building car bodies, gat

STRUCTURES

  WHAT IS AN STRUCTURE?   An structure can be anything that supports , holds or connects something . I usually say that is the basis or the key of something, if you look around you nearly every thing has or it's an structure , for example if you are in your house and you go to your kitchen you can see the microwave, it's an structure, then if you watch the TV, you can see there airplanes, they are structures, buildings... The structures can be used for: To hold things:  there are a lot of structures that hold things they have to be elaborated to hold so many weight.                                        To construct: every building, bridge and other constructions need to have an structure to support the weight of the construction.                                                  As a house: all the animals and humans construct or have an structure that they use as a house.

ALL ABOUT ME

Hello, my name is Maria Antònia. I'm thirteen years old and i live in Sant Llorenç des Cardassar.I like reading books, listening to music and watching movies. I love travelling. I don't have pets because i'm allergic. I'm likeable, funny and responsible. In a future i want to go to a university. Since i was little i want to be a journalist, my dream is to write in a newspaper.  I think the classes of technology are going to be funny but difficult because i'm not handy. And i know that we are going to learn to work in group and to learn to be more handy. The best technological object for me is the mobile,  because it helps us to communicate with other  people around the world, you can look at  the internet and search for information, and the best thing is that you can take it with you.
