MOTAT

To add traction to our inquiry about forces and motion, Room 1 enjoyed an educational visit to MOTAT. We learned more about simple machines.

We looked at ways simple gears work.

We enjoyed this amazing big screw.

The children explored pulley systems and noticed that a simple machine like a pulley can work so well it helps us have the strength to lift friends.

In the classroom challenges were set to build our own simple machines. This team built a skateboard using the simple machine a wheel and axel.
