- We were doing our stations about gears again today. We are learning how gears work (SF). Such as...if one gear spins one way, the other one spins the other way (VS). Also, if you have a bigger gear with more teeth it goes slower than the smaller gear with less teeth (LJ).
- I learned that a big gears inside goes as fast as a smaller gear's inside (the axle) (TB)
- that gears are fun to play with (ZM)
- some gears, the starting gear spins one way, the other one that's attached to it spins the other (GB)
- how to use Design Thinking in the iLab by designing a roller coaster
Homework:
- Decide on your 'every day problem' that you will design your invention for. This MUST be finalized by Monday. Feel free to do research, ask your family questions, etc. to help you decide. Below is a list of problems that were brainstormed at school.
