Today our tamariki completed a Simple Machines Scavenger Hunt as an introduction to our science topic on Force and Motion. This is what we found-
Wheel and Axles- Pram wheels, Sand pit digger toy, hot wheels cars
Slopes- Stairs, slides, the hill outside our studio
Levers- Scissors, a broom, door handles and the sandpit water pump
Screws- Screw top lids on whiteboard pens and jars
Wedges- Push pins in the wall and door stops
We did not find any Pulleys in our studio area but we are still looking!
It was so much fun finding all these things. We did not realise how many of these simple machines we use every day to make our life easier.
