ECA Phase I Week 4 201901: Sweeper

Did you watch how the sweeper do some cleaning? It is really a good example of gear combination. This class is to help us to understand what is:

  1. Driving Gear
  2. Driven Gear

How do the different sized gears affect the sweeper’s performance?

The class was run smoothly. Wesley made a good construction. The sweeper uses 2 same sized gears. Students found sweeping work performs different if the different gear combination is employed.

I really suggested our students to try the bigger driving gear + the smaller driven gear, it shows a powerful work.

Good luck!

Communication PBP Center Phase I Class 1: Build a Car 20170915

Each Friday, Play2Learn Education moves to Palliser Bayview PumpHill Community Association to serve for Kids in South Calgary. On September 15, 2017, the very first class in Phase I Lego Challenge Program is given at 6:30 pm in the evening. This is the first time we put our class in the south, big thanks for president, administrator in PBP Center. We had 12 kids in total gathering in boardroom to build car and run a race. The group is pretty mixed since we have boys and girls, age from 6 – 12 years old. This is what we planned for a big range of kids to be benefit from this program. Big brothers and sisters can enjoy a hard version of experiment, and also practice their leadership to interact with those young kids; for those young kids, they will really enjoy to learn and play in a easy model, however, interact with older brothers and sisters.

The car uses the battery and the motor to give the movement. To make the car run faster, you have different way to go. For example, change the gear combination; switch tires. Kids can think a lot of different ways to speed their car up.

That’s a wonderful Friday night! Kids felt happy; Mom and Dad enjoy an one hour Happy Hour.

Let’s get together in the next Friday! We will do some research on Scientific Measurement!

Communication ECA Phase I Class 1: Power Car in ECA 20170913

Hello Guys,

We were pleased to see 2 groups of kids working on their own Power Car project in Edgemont Community Association on Wednesday evening. The smart boys and girls finished all requested structure, and then made a fabulous CAR Race. Justin got the champion in the Group 2. He found the secret in gear combination. After trying 3 different combination, he chose the best one to make the car running far faster than other cars in the group.

Hi Justin, good job! The next step, I am sure you can find how the gear ratio is, to make the car run in a fast speed (quantitatively) as what you predicted. The timer is ready for you!

We are going to experience the scientific measurement Model in the next week. See you guys on September 20th, 2017.
