Learning about simple machines

The children in Room 1 have been investigating simple machines. After researching the different types of simple machines the children walked around the school to see what machines they could find.

Here are some of the machines that they found:

Lever

Pulley

Wheel and Axle

Inclined Plane

Wedge

Screw

After our research the children picked what type of simple machines they wanted to become experts in. They have now started building their own machines using different materials.

These are the simple machine experts in Room 1:

Inclined Plane: Victoria, Ronan.

Lever: Florence, Ananyaa, Lana.

Screw: Asher, Leo.

Pulley: Joshua, Jackson, Maisie.

Wheel and Axle: Jack, Benjamin, William.

Wedge: Siena, CJ, Sanuka.

We are looking forward to seeing what amazing machines the children will create!
