Come see what Linda Hamilton and students made this week building merry - go - rounds while learning about gears and using three different ways to power vehicles. 


Merry-go-round projects

Puff cars projects use wind power

Balloon car projects

Strain energy is used in rubber band car projects
TA, Ursula, was the able assistant.
The fun of building made learning about gears, axles and wheels, and group problem solving an easy job.
