MOTAT Visit

 MOTAT Visit

Today Jasmine and Ashleigh, from MOTAT, came to work with Room 4.  They showed some simple machines and we discussed levers, ramps or inclined planes, wedges, wheel and axle, pulley and screws. 
The students were put into small groups and they made their own marble runs.  The students had to work together, solving problems and be creative.  They had so much fun. 
After they built their marble runs they showed all the members of Room 4. 
The students discussed the challenges that they faced.  Some of these were:
- a challenge to keep the marble on the path
- looking at different angles
- hard to connect some pieces so they lined up

Enjoy looking at the photos of our special morning:
