About me

My name is Joel Marín Fairweather and I am 14 years old. This is my blog for High School. I am going to write a little bit about myself for my technology teacher. We have to use new technology to communicate and a blog is a good idea, I think.
I am going to start with my family. I have two sisters, Cloe and Ellen, both older than me. My dad is David and he lives in Palma.. My mam is Julie and she is a teacher in Artà. Artà is a small town in Mallorca, it is my home town. I like it a lot but also like Newcastle, where my mam is from and where all my English family lives. We always go there on holiday and I love it especially at Christmas. Another important member of the family is my dog Stitch! He is small but lively and I love to run around the house with him.
My favourite sport is football and I play for our local club. We train hard, three times a week and have matches at the weekend. I would really love to be a footballer when I grow up. I know this is like a dream but if I can't do this I would like to be a trainer or sports coach.
Technology is about how things are made and new technology is about computers, internet etc.
I think we can learn a lot of useful things. I think that the mobile phone is one of the best technological inventions because you can do so many things with one small gadget- talk, take photos, use GPS to find your way, listen to music.....

METALS

METALS POST: The definition of metal is any of the elements with a positive electrical charge, typically with a shiny surface and a good conductor of heat. An example of metal is gold.   Types of metal -There are 2 types of metal : ferrous and non-ferrous Ferrous metals contain iron. Non-ferrous metals do not contain iron. A pure metal only consists of a single element. This means that it only has one type of atom in it. The common pure metals are:-aluminium, copper, iron, lead, zinc, tin, silver and gold. Ferrous metals are steel, cast iron and carbon steel. Ferrous metals are not malleable,( they do not bend as easily). Some ferrous metals are very strong, long-lasting, and magnetic. These characteristics are beneficial for building or for use in certain industries.

SUSTAINABILITY

What is sustainability? Sustainability is all about protecting natural resources and making sure as little damage as possible is done to the environment. It means protecting all the living creatures and biodiversity. It also means that all people and communities should be treated fairly too. It is about trying to find good ways to use natural resources and good ways to recycle and reduce waste products. Sustainable forests are very important because in the past trees were just cut down and land used for other things like pasture for sheep and cattle. Now  people have learnt we must replant and have reforestation. In some countries like Canada there are lots of sustainable forests. Here is my presentation.( Great Lakes Sustainable Forest) In Spain there are not as many , in fact only about 7% of forestland has the certificate of sustainable. This is because there are lots of small forests with private owners and it is easier to make a big area sustainable. There is a private o...

STRUCTURES

POST NUMBER 4: Structures A structure is something that has been made or built. Structures are not just buildings and really structures are everywhere, in the natural world too. For example, a spider's web or honey-comb are examples of natural structures while a house or a wall are man-made structures. A structure is not only a big construction but even small simple things that you see and use everyday and everywhere. A handbag or a pencil case and even a football is a structure. Most structures are built for a special purpose for example a bag  to keep things or a bridge to cross a river. But natural structures can happen by accident and over long periods of time, for example stalactites in caves. Basically , structures are EVERYWHERE! Structures can have many uses and usually help us in our everyday lives.ALL structures have certain things, which are a definite shape and size and a definite purpose. A structure will serve a specific function so its shape and size will depen...
