HOW ARE SQUISHES MADE? Part I

HOW ARE SQUISHES MADE?

Well there are two ingredients that you need to make a squishy. These are made out of PU which stands for polyurethane. PU comes in 2 varieties, Gummy Cast Soft and Gummy Cast Hard. They are both made from urethane resin. 

FACTS ABOUT POLYURETHANE: 

• Polyurethane was first researched in Germany by Friedrich Bayer in 1937. 

•  1.6cm-thick polyurethane insulation has the same insulation efficiency as a 1.34m-thick concrete wall!

•  That renewable raw materials can be used to produce foams for several applications such as mattresses.

HOW TO MAKE ORBEEZ!

HOW TO MAKE ORBEEZ!

 

1.First find a kit that says how to make orbeez or how to make GROWING SPHERES!

2.Next you want to take them out of the packaging.

3.Grab one plastic cup.

4.Then put in the orbeez or spheres in the plastic cup.

5.When you are done doing that, place the spheres in cold water but not HOT water or else it will not work. Let it sit for about 2 to 3 hours and it will be ready.

THIS IS HOW MINE TURNED OUT!

•  the first polyurethane surfboard was made and used in the 1950s.

•  in 1973, roller skates were improved and popularised by the introduction of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) wheels and, later, TPU boots. Today they are known as Rollerblade's.

 

 

 

 

 

HOW YOU CAN HELP THE WORLD?

•  You can help by donating money to the homeless or animal charities..  

  HOW:

  Well it's easy, here are some ideas: Having a lemonade stand, giving away some of your things, making candles and much more.

  WHY:

  Because you will be saving a lot of animals. If you donate 10 dollars or more, you could be saving 25 animals. It's your choice. If you keep donating and encourage other to follow you will help many more animals.

  MORE IDEAS:

  Here are more things you can do to help Earth: NEVER LITTER because if you litter animals think it's food when it is actually plastic, so please don't  LITTER. If you see litter on the ground, please pick it up and throw it in the trash or if you see someone doing it, tell them it is not right to do that.

How to make SLIIIMMMEEEEE

What you need:

·       Glue

·       Detergent Gain/Tide/Borax

·       Bowl

·       Something to stir with

·       Food coloring (optional)

1)      The first thing you want to do is pore your glue in your bowl.

2)      When you are done you can pour in your food coloring this is optional.

3)      After your are done mixing the food coloring, you can go ahead and put in your detergent little by little.

4)      When you see it is coming together DON’T touch it yet because it will still be sticky, just keep mixing.

5)      After a while you can see that your SLIME is coming together and getting less and less sticky. That means you can touch it and fiddle with it.

6)      Next pick it up and stretch it and that will make your slime more fun to play with.

Fact

·       If you put in a lot of detergent the slime will not be so stretchy and sticky. 
·       But if you don’t put a lot of detergent then it will sticky and stretchy so make sure you put in the right amount of detergent.

How to build Elegoo's car robot?

In this post I will show you the steps I followed to create Elegoo's robot. I created this robot for a school assignment for the MIT. Students from 4 to 9 grade had to present a 'hack the tube' project. I chose a robot since I wanted to know how to build one from scratch and how to code it.
Im 10 years old. Hope you enjoy this post!

Step 1
 Go to the following website

 https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software

Step 2
Download the development software (IDE) for your operating system (OS). I used windows OS.

Step 3
Press the button "JUST DOWNLOAD", run the program and begin its installation.

Step 4
 Once Arduino's icon appears in your desktop click on it and start coding.

Step 5
Unzip the Arduino's folder " arduino-1.6.9-windows.zip''.

Step 6
How to build the robot?
Assembly Motors, tack the four yellow motors out of the box and choose M3 hex screws  3x30mm.

Step 7
Take the two bottom base plates and take and take the paper off the plates. Now you are ready to screw the motors to the plates.

Note how the motors are mounted. You may need to reassemble the motors so the aluminum block is in the right spot.

Step 8
Install the motor driver board.

Pay attention to the direction of the motor driver board and the wiring.

Step 9
Install the line tracking module 3PCS

Step 10

Install Arduino UNO R3  board and the V5.0 extension board on the top base plate.
Do not over tighten the Arduino Uno R3 board you may damage it.

Step 11
Install the IR Receiver and the battery holder .

For the battery holder you need to use the screws named 'for cell box'.

Step 12
Install the Servo motor on the acrylic board and screw the ultrasonic sensor to the ultrasonic holder.

Connect the controlling lines of the steering engine to the driving board.

Step 13

Install the copper cylinders 6PCS on the bottom base plate.

Step 14
Install the power from the battery holder to the motor driver board. I used a soldering iron to connect the positive wire from the battery holder and the positive wire coming from the L298N Motor driver board to finally connect into the DC Connector. I followed the same procedure with the negative wires.

Step 15
Install 6 wires to control the board.
The six wires then fit through a hole on the top base plate.

Step 16
You now can add the screws for the top base plate to the copper cylinders.
Connect all six wires to the V5.0 extension board.

Step 17
Plug the bluetooth chip into the V5.0 extension board.

Step 18
Add the four wheels to your robot.

CONGRATULATIONS YOU HAVE SUCCESSFULLY MADE A ROBOT!

Step 19
Plug your robot to the computer and start coding. I will show you how in my next blog post.
