6th Graders: Engineering/Construction of Simple Machines
Simple Machines are around us on a daily basis. Some we don't even realize and most go unnoticed throughout our lifetime. The sixth grade group is focusing in on incline planes and the use of gears during a construction unit. Students must focus in on how the simple machine is used in everyday life and how it makes things easier for us. The building/engineering part hasn't been easy for them, as each piece has to be carefully put in the exact location for the machines to work. Some frustration has been had, but in the end learning has taken place.
