Inquiry | Wheel & Axle | Lever

LI: To learn about Science, Technolgy, Engineering, Arts and Mathmatics.

For our first session we were learning about the wheel and axle ( A simple machine using friction to make moving things easier ). First we got to play around with some toy cars and see the speed and travel distance on the wheels and then the top. We had to record the speed & travel distance on different surfaces. After playing with the cars we had to make a DIY ( Do It Yourself ) wheel & axle.The next session we had to do was about Levers. We had two different examples of a lever, and we also had to make our own lever. After we had made our lever we had to make a google draw about a lever. In the google draw we had to include the definition of a lever, if the lever made things easier to move, if moving the fulcrom away or closer was easier & a drawing of different levers.
