Jack in the Box
When the lever is pressed the girl pops up.
February 2, 2010

This example is from ideas from old Duplo simple machine set on handles.


Some worked with PicoCricket and some with WeDO.

The Pico set

They programmed the girl to pop up using the sound sensor.
So they sang "Round and round the Mulberry Bush the monkey chased the weasel;
The monkey thought it was all in fun
'till POP goes the weasel.

Ta da with a loud sound and up it goes!

WeDo set

The drumming machine uses the cams under the levers.
