Simple Machines in the Past, Present and Future This week we explored how simple machines were used in the past, how they are used now and we predicted how they might be used in the future. Wheels and Axle Today we created cars with wheels and axle. We understood the difference between the cars we had made previously out of recycled materials which didn't roll, just slide; and the importance of an axle. Axles allow the wheels to roll and move! We used skills developed through design, Science and Unit of Inquiry lessons to create these cars. 3D Shapes As in introduction to 3D shapes, we made a shape museum. The children found 3D shapes in all sorts of materials and toys within the classroom, and put them on display in our 3D shape museum. We also made 3D shapes using shape nets out of paper. Once the children finished making a 3D shape, they made a creation and explained what they made, and what shapes they used to make it. Please enjoy the videos below of the children talking about their 3D shape creations!
