GLORIOUS GUMBALLS!

4K  is filled with engineers, designers and team players! 
As part of our study of simple machines, our class used what we learned about simple machines to create gumball machines. The challenge was to use levers, inclined planes and pulleys in a 'gumball' machine where the ball moved from one end to the other. As an added challenge, the students could attempt to use gears, screws and/or wheels also. 
In the videos each team explains their design and how they used simple machines in their glorious gumball machines. Each group managed to create incredibly inventive designs as well as put their engineer talents to use as the videos clearly show. What was even more impressive, however, was how each group worked together and shared all the work and their ideas so well.
