Then we went to PE with Miss Yustin.


Then we continued with spelling.


Then we started to look at the form and function of pulleys.
We read 'Get to know Pulleys'

We learned that pulleys have a wheel with a groove and a rope/belt/ or chain that helps to lift a load.
We also learned that a fixed pulley does not move such as a well and a moveable pulley moves such as a zipline. We looked at how pulley systems are made of 2 or more pulley.

Also the more pulleys there are the more of a load you can lift!

We then broke off into groups and created different pulleys.

We also worked in groups to experiment with a pulley and lighter and heavier loads. 

After we consolidated and shared our findings and learning before going to lunch.

After recess we had our Scientists in School workshop!!!!

We had so much fun learning about simple machines.

We started off talking about levers and that they have and if Aashyra can lift me. She tried to actually lift me! But then we moved on to the lever and seeing if she can lift me. We figured out that we can move the fulcrum in order to lift me.

Then students moved on to different stations.

1. Pulleys

2. Wheel and axle

3. Inclined planes and wedges

4. Screw

5. Lever
