This term, we’ve been investigating how mechanisms work together to create machines. We focused on wheel mechanisms, learning about axles, tubing, and wheels and how they help things move.

We put our knowledge to the test by building three types of cars: one that rolls down a ramp, another powered by a elastic band slingshot mechanism and the last with elastic bands that unwind from the wheels! Now, we’re gearing up to use what we’ve learned from the prototypes and design our own. 🔧🚗
