Hello everyone!
My apologies for the later post. Last week we built sweeper cars! This was a fun way to learn about gears and rotations. We noticed that a gear turns another gear an equal circumference to itself, for example when a larger gear turned a small gear, the small gear rotated extremely fast because it needed to be rotated according to the circumference of the larger gear.
This week we worked in teams and that worked out nicely. Next week you will be working in teams but with other students. I may include a prize for the fastest group! Next week we will be building a Fly Wheeler.
