SIMPLY SUPER SIMPLE MACHINES!

We have been busy learning all about simple machines in 4K! We have read about the six simple machines (lever, gear, screw, inclined plane, wedge, and pulley), and done activities to explore how these machines work and help humans. Now we are putting all our knowledge to use by creating "gumball machines" in CLIC.  The task the class was given is to work as a group to design and build a machine that will move a ball from one point to another incorporating at least 5 simple machines in your device. We have only just begun and look at what has been created so far! Stay tuned for more updates on our progress in this exploration and for videos of each group explaining their machine, the design process and what they learned.
