Science Day

Today we had a Science day. We looked at some simple machines: inclined plane, pulley, gears, levers and wheels/axles. There were 10 stations set up around the room that the groups rotated through. Some were computer stations where we watched a movie about our simple machine and played some online games. At the other stations we used equipment to build some simple machines.
