6 Machines

Lever

Pulley

Wedge

Wheel and Axel

Incline Plane

Screws

 

We can reduce this to 4 because you can combine wheel and axel with screws because they are all parts that are added to inventions. Also we can combine Incline plane with a a Pulley becuase they both can add to pull together. Now this is reduced to 4 groups with Lever, Pulley and Incline Plane, Wedge, and Screws Wheel and Axel.

we should go to a pumpkin throwing competion that we can learn how to use a trebuchet or other ideas that we can use. Different groups could use this to find new ideas and create the best throwing contest when we eventually build a trebuchet. New innovations can be made and this field trip can help use learn how to create it. Plus we can learn about new parts that are in the inventions. With knowledge of this can help us in the long run in this class. Also it would be alot of fun for everyone and we can see how powerful the trebuchet is.
