22/02/2019 Photographing engine and finishing engine part slideshow

Today we brought the engine to school and put it inside a room in the woodwork room. In second block we went and tidied our work bench and put the engine on two blocks on it. We took pictures of each side of the engine. We spent the rest of the time in the classroom finishing our engine parts slide, which is a slideshow where we listed all the engine parts we know. We put a picture of each item we knew and then described how it worked. We also created a slide show called engine disassembly process. We put all the photos of the engine on that slide show. We also tried to access a website that had a manual for our engine but their was a problem with the website. Next week we are going to start working on the engine, Luca is going to bring in an old alternator that we are going to examine and photograph.
