Yummy wheels and axles

Our 'simple machine' study is continuing over Term 2.  We have learnt that the 6 simple machines are: Screws, pulleys, a wedge, levers, inclined planes and wheels and axles.  We have enjoyed looking around at our environment and discovering that these simple machines are everywhere making our life easier.  They are helping us by holding things together, making sure we can open doors, ensuring we can walk up hills easily, giving us cutting activities, pulling our blinds up and getting us to school (car, scooter or bike).  SIMPLE MACHINES ARE AMAZING!

Check out some of our videos of the children creating their own axle with 'edible' wheels!  We wish all simple machines were made of food!
