My mind is slipping as I get older . . . and I am forgetting to post right away when I get home. My bad.
The last two days, before our snow day on Friday, were spent getting ready for the simple machines/work test. The last day was a day of review--we ate apples, using a compound apple peeler/corer/slicer that Mrs. Nolan gave me last year. I let Scottie Pippen choose the students who got to eat the apples. The device has levers, screws, inclined planes, wedges, a wheel and axle, but no pulley. I guess you can't have them all!
Then we watched a fun video from Japan showcasing a complicated Rube Goldberg way to make ramen noodles. We enjoyed it very much in class--I hope you can enjoy it at home as well!
The test is Monday, and then on to energy! Sweet justice.
