The 6th grade science class from Prairie Elementary
enjoyed studying their unit on simple machines. After studying levers (1st,
2nd and 3rd class), pulleys, wheel and axle, incline planes, ramps, screws,
and wedges they had the opportunity to build a compound machine. Using
Kinex’s, teams built items such as a hand mixer (that turned with a battery
pack), an elevator, a crane, a sailboat, a stethoscope, bulldozer, and
a tractor with a lift. These items were on display at the Prairie’s
Elementary Spring Concert. Each team was thrilled in building their machines
and seeing them work correctly. Maybe, some of the students will see that
mechanical engineering might be a career for them. Photos provided by Colleen
Sonnen. Click on each photo for a larger view.
