Learning in Room 6
As part of our inquiry on simple machines we designed pinball machines. We had to think about the path
that we wanted the marble to travel.
We used levers and incline planes to create our machines. Some of us had a points system
where players were able to win prizes.
We shared our machines with Room 8 students and our buddy class Room 16.
It was a lot of fun – designing, making, testing and
redesigning to insure we were successful.

We also designed and made catapults. These were also lots of fun to design and make.
It was a class challenge to see who could fire their block the furthest.
