We are finishing up our Gears unit in Science this week, ready to begin our Pulleys Project after the break. Students have been learning about different types of gears; from spur gears to worm and bevel and investigating how bicycles work. Below you will see our Gears display, in which students had to use their spur gears to create a working wall of Gears.

We opened up conversations about how the gear metaphor can apply to ourselves and our connections with others (THINK WIN-WIN!)

Watch this space for the student’s attempts at the wall…
