This term Room's 3, 4 and 5 are studying how work can be made easier by machines. As a part of this study, we have decided to create machines in our classes as a form of art, technology and science.
Brief -
You need to create a machine that:
Fits the following dimensions -
60cm squared in width by no more than 2.5m high
Delivers a 'Mini Crunchie Bar' to a winner during assembly
- We want to make the delivery of the crunchy bar for the green slip and smarty pants award far more exciting than it currently is. Your job is to create a machine that uses motion, sound and sight to make this happen.
Uses as many of the
six simple machines
as possible
