Da word in FE8A


Halloween video
Halloween is on Friday!! Plus the class auction is on Friday there will be many great prizes that can be bought. In class we have been designing the Rube Goldberg machine which must be finished by Nov. 12. Next each person will write a research paper on a company who uses their simple machine in their manufacturing process. The groups consist of lever, wedge, screw, pulley,and a wheel and axle. Today in class we all came up with ideas and put them all together and got 1 very big and good machine. Like the bike in the picture the are many simple machines like wheel and axle for both the gears and the wheel. Plus the pedals are levers. put it all together and this machine is much faster than walking resulting in a huge mechanical advantage.

Next time Eric :p
