Today we learned about simple machines and how we can move them using force.
We learned about wheels and axles, inclined planes, wedges, screws, and pulleys. It was a great afternoon because we loved all the hands on work. It was interesting seeing what everyone else came up with!
We may be able to use this information to help us with a Big Question for our own “Discovery”!

Hi Mrs Tieppo and 2TM,
It looks like you are having lots of wonderful inventions in inquiry. Grace has told me all about them!
In grade 5 we are also doing a lot of inventions with balloons and the sun.
A couple weeks ago we went on a excursion to a big science centre and I learnt so much on fossils and force and simple machines!

Hi Jordan,
It is always so nice to have family members drop in. I agree that we have all learned many things about science and force. I’m glad to hear that you loved your excursion to the science centre. Learning is so much fun on excursions.
