Simple machines

L.I to make a Rube Goldberg machine with the six simple machines.

For Inquiry we were challenged to build a similar machine as Rube Goldberg. A challenge was you had to use one of the simple machines which are Incline Plane, Pulley, Screw, Wheel and Axle and a Lever. My groups challenge was to try to turn on the chromebook. Our Machine had included, Levers, Incline Plane and a screw. We had also used parts of our bodys to finish of the machine. Our machine was successfully working. The materials that we had used were Cardboard(for Incline Plane), Domino's, Pan Balance, Marbles and books.

The biggest challenges we had to face was trying to get the materials to stay up still and trying to figure out what's gonna happen next. 

I think if we were to do this again I would've bought more materials and incorporated more and included others ideas.

LI: to cope with challenges .
We learnt how to face challenges and experience/attempted them. We looked at 3 different types of challenges and wrote about our feelings when we face those challenges. We figured out coping strategies in groups of three. 

Bombs Grids

 For maths we had to work out to find a successful path, without touching the bombs. We used arrows to show the successful path.Also we had to explain in sentences to make a successful path just like coding.These sentences needed to explain how the arrows move. We used Turn,Rotate 1/4 or 90, we also used clockwise or anticlockwise, Slide down ,Slide up,Slide right,Slide left
