Simple Machines Continued

We have continued investigating and exploring with simple machines. Photographs this week are of the Ball Machine, taking apart machines, riding on the scooters and painting the cars children made out of boxes. We will add wheels and axles next week. As you can see form the photographs children are engaged in a variety of experiments, testing out the laws of physics and motion.  There was a great deal of problem solving, negotiation, collaboration and cooperation while they were playing with the simple machines.
