The 4th grade classes completed a inquiry cycle in Forschen about simple machines and forces. The children inquired into the basics of mechanical devices and connected their learning to the basic technology they see in their own lives. The highlight of the unit was working with a team to build a robot, a cable car, or a battery powered car or other functioning machine using Lego Education brick sets. They experienced the functionality of simple machines, and used their creative thinking skills to build machines that not only were functional, but also helped to build understanding of the devices they see in the real world.
