Comparing Piston Ring Sizes

2011-12-20T06:19:00.000-08:00

This is me, Jared Palmer, comparing piston rings. The one in a four stroke engine (or, lawn mower engine) and the one from an engine for storing natural gas underground.

So, if the small piston ring goes to the piston below, imagine the size of the piston for the natural gas storage unit...

This is Jaci and Dani, making some Christmas tree ornament at the acrylic bending module. How do you bend them you ask?? Well, we shall tell you. First, you place the plastic pieces on the heating bay and once a jello-like jiggle occurs you begin with a slight bend. Then you hold the bend until it cools and is solid. You find yourself with an ornate Christmas ornament.

Wood Shop, at DC-G Middle School, Is A Fun School Subject. In Sixth Grade You Make A Nike Swish And All Sorts Of Puzzles. In Seventh Grade, You Learn Different Modules. I Liked Making The Pod Casts And Chess Piece. I LOVED Making The Videos Though. I Videotaped A Squirrel. I Adopted Him As My Special Pet. I Named Him Squirrely. My First Module, Was Making A Wooden Car. Then I Raced It With My Partner. I Can't Remember Who Won Though. That's The End Of My Post See Ya Later!! :)
