Getting the ideas quickly
Through a grant from the West Virginia Space Grant Consortium
teachers are trained to use the LEGO Dacta education materials to use with their students.
Fulcrum point in tray to helps with lifting up plates.
Students seem to be able to pick up the building and working of the hands on materials 
with out much problem.
The extensive educational opportunities can be overwhelming to adults.
However with actual hands on opportunities for adults themselves, ideas that are on paper become easily seen as ideas that can be implemented in many existing lesson plans.

Picture instructions show where LEGO elements are to be placed

With two bands on only part of the roller conveyor moves.
But with all three in place the whole works as a unit.
Objects can be moved up a large angle.
Putting away each piece in its place is sad 
but then the elements are ready for another project another day.
