The first simple machine we are learning about is the lever. Students worked with teams to create levers in order to test their effect on the amount of effort it takes to move their load (of washers). Students used spring scaled to measure Newtons. In a few days we will review levers.

Students learned about the different moon phases today. They demonstrated their knowledge by creating the moon phases using a delicious snack....Oreo cookies! When students were done they were able to eat their cookies. Yum!
~ Mrs. Jasewicz Today we had a representative from Bricks for Kidz come to our classroom to teach us about simple machines. Specifically, we learned about a lever. Then we created a moving see-saw with partners using a cool set of Legos that included a battery operated motor. When students were done they were able to utilize a free play station as well. What a fun morning after a 2-hour delay!
