What is a simple machine?
It is anything that has a lever, wedge, pulley, inclined plane, wheel and axle, or screw to make a job easier for us. That is what the girls have been learning this week in science. To reinforce the topic, we took a trip to the science museum to see all of these different types of simple machines in action.

We were side tracked by the rats playing basketball, 
the dissection of a cow's eye,
the dominos,
building the arch,
and so much more.
Here's the wheel and axle in motion.
They saw first hand all of the other types of simple machines but I didn't get any photos of those.It was a great day of learning and we were glad to share it with our fiends, the Cravey's.
