We finished creating our cars using recyclable materials, wheels and axles.
The final simple machine we will be exploring is "gears." How do they work and what they are used for. If one turns right, in which direction does the one connected move? Will both have the same number of turns? Will the size of the gears influence any of our results?
Here are some pictures of the experiment! In science, we are still exploring simple machines, how they work, and what they do to help us. We explored the wheel in this experiment. We explored the benefits of the lever, how it works in different characteristics that are important in understanding how it applies to our everyday life. We spent the morning practicing our culinary skills in our teams. There was a total of four recipes, for a sandwich, a soup, muffins, and a fruit salad. We're glad to say it all turned out delicious! |
