During the month of December, students are diving into the world of simple machines! Simple machines are all around us and make up a lot of different things. Students will be introduced to 7 different simple machines. A scavenger hunt around the school will help students recognize how many simple machines are actually around them. Students will also play the game "Mousetrap" as it has a lot of examples of simple machines. As our final project, students will be exposed to Rube Goldberg and the types of machines he used in his comics--students will use materials to create their own Rube Goldberg machines with simple machines. Stay tuned for pictures!
