Intro:

Have you ever took apart or do surgery on a computer before? Well, I just started learning how to do so under the help of Mr. Robert. However, the goal of taking apart the computer is to learn how the pieces work and being able to assemble it back together, with it being able to turn on. Before I started taking it apart, I seriously thought it was gonna be the worst semester of my life but it was actually SUPER fun taking the screws off.

The Challenge

I think the challenge is remembering the parts of the computer and how they work, which I don’t. Sooner or later I will remember!! (hopefully) The teacher would unscrew the component and ask, “What part is this and how does it look.” We (me and Renee) wouldn’t know what to answer and it felt really frustrated since I have short term memory. After a mental breakdown I listen to the person who knows the answer and try to remember it, I usually do for that day but one week later it disappears like a rainbow. If I forget I just ask!

Learning Experience:

I learned that if you touch the bottom of the C.P.U too hard it could bend or break the chips which causes it to be unable to fit in its slot and then you have to pay for a new one. Since the computer won’t able to work with a broken C.P.U. This project has changed the fact that I first thought that computers doesn’t generate energy after you turn it off, but turns out the heat sink a.k.a the fan that sits on top of the C.P.U. can still generate energy after years.

Conclusion:

I think the experience of taking apart the computer was somewhat stressful but still enjoyable. The most valuable lesson I learned is that teamwork makes the dream work! By working together you achieve almost anything, almost. Without my partner I would have had technical difficulties. After I learn how to assemble back a computer I am going to just stop since I think learning how to open a computer enough knowledge for me!!!

Random Pictures

This is the mother board!!

1. Motherboard: The circus board of the computer, just like glue it holds everything together. The motherboard’s video card and the CPU both are together in a built in chipset

2. Central Processing Unit (CPU): The brain of the computer because it has access to everything on the motherboard. It turns the codes or programs you type into assembly language so the processor can understand the codes.

3. Power Supply Unit (PSU): PSU turns the power form the source to have a correct or balanced format and voltage. It is the power bank.

4. Memory (RAM): RAM which stands for random access memory, it is the computer’s short term memory. It stores memory for a short amount of time.

5. Storage: The storage keeps your data for long term unlike the RAM. It keeps the data basically forever.

6.Graphics Processing Unit (GPU): The GPU can solve mathematic questions at high speed and process graphic related work.

I think learning python is fun ,but it is quite far I just started so I don’t know much. I only learned two periods of python. I think it is too hard for me.

What did I learn (three things)

1.First Type

print(“Hello world.”)
print(“\n”)
print(“I am learning Python.”) click run module

Then this will show up

2.First type

forename = input(“What is your forename? “)
print(“Hello,”,forename) click run module

Then this will show up [Type your forename]

3.First type [Don’t delete the thing you type on top]

surname = input(“What is your surname? “)
print(“Hi”,forename,surname,”!”)

Then this will show up

Overall python was very phenomenal. I learned a lot of things. You can make your own forename and surname and create a funny word. I think python is important because if you want to be a Data Science person it is perfect.

In this post I will talk about vocabulary words.

Vocabulary words-

• Back-up
• Landscape
• Orientation
• Portrait
• Save-as vs save

1.backup-a copy what file you have.

2.landscape-is when a page is horizontal.

3.portrait-is when a page is vertical

4.orientation-is when your page is vertical of horizontal.

5.save as and save-you

1. The Energy State Park is where you can try out the different kinds of energy What does the Energy State Park trying to show us? It is trying to show us how different types of energy work.

2. What is potential,kinetic,and thermal energy? Potential energy is the “energy of a particle, body, or system that is determined by its position or structure”. Kinetic energy is the energy resulting from motion. Thermal energy is another term for heat energy. Heat energy is the result of the movement of tiny particles called atoms, molecules or ions in solids, liquids and gases. 

3. How do you play this game? You pick a character you want and you put it on the ramp. You will see it slide down the ramp and it will have different kinds of energy.

4. You can use a pie chart and it will show you kinetic and potential energy.

5. When the skater is about slide down there is lots of potential energy. When it is at the bottom it has kinetic energy.

6. When you actually slide down the ramp in real life it happens. From potential to kinectic.

7. I learned that when you slide down a ramp it starts from potential to kinetic.

8. I told my friend this because it is important and she should know when sliding down a ramp it starts from potential to kinetic.

9. Overall this game is super awesome and it is fun. It is a fun game for children who don’t like leaning.

Do you think the kids dictionary sites could be useful to you? Why or Why not? I think that it is very useful because if you search a word for example: happy if you are a kid and you look at the definition you wont understand some of the words so kids dictionary uses simple words. Ex: happy= feeling joyed or glad.

How are they different than the “look up” or “explore” or “define” function in MS Word or Google Docs? Which one is better? In my opinion I think google docs is better because google docs shows synonyms and the meaning of the word. MS word only shows synonyms and not the meaning so google docs is better because it also shows the meaning.

DIGITAL: An example of digital is electronic tools, systems, devices and things that uses technology.

EMBED: to set firmly in some surrounding material.

LANDSCAPE: a natural thing that is formed in the natural.

POTRAIT: a picture or drawing of someone.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SAVE AND SAVE AS? If you save you cant change anything. If you save as you can go back anytime you want.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BACKSPACE AND DELETE? WHEN YOU DELETE YOUR MOUSE GOES TO THE FRONT. WHEN YOU BACKSPACE IT DELETES THE THING YOU TYPE.
