Hello,
I am working with a physics student from our local university to put
together a 45 minutes simple machines lab for grades 3 - 5 for our field
trip program to the museum.  The plan so far is to have stations with
examples of different simple machines for kids to experiment with and then
come back and build something that uses a simple machine.  The physics
student is building the simple machines...  My question is, does anyone
already do something like this?  What scale are the simple machines that you
are using?  What do you have the kids build?  Is it fun?  Any input would be
appreciated!

Thanks,

--
