Harper and I learned about simple machines this week. It was a fun way to discuss force, motion and work. We read a few books about force and work and made models of the different simple machines. Our lessons this week certainly were not as glamorous as the ones from Paris week, but Harper had a fun time building machines to do her work!
We made an Archimedes' screw! Harper was very surprised when the water went up the tubing as she turned the pipe!
We made a pulley system to lift Harper's dolls.
We made a water wheel.
We figured out how many clementines it takes to move a lemon up an inclined plane.
It took three!
We also made an elevator to lift more toys.
Harper and I designed a marble run to lower our marbles to the ground.
Girlie had fun decorating the board.
