The Lorax

 

 

We are currently working on a language unit on "The Lorax" by Dr.Seuss. We are learning about the environment and how to take care of plants and animals. We have explored some effects of water and air pollution and will continue to learn about ways we can protect the environment.

Simple Machines!

Today we built a simple machine. Our class designed a pulley system to solve a problem! We imagined that we needed to lift up an injured lion and take it to the vet. How do you lift up a lion? Together we collaborated on ideas and built a pulley system. Over the next few days we will decide on what we can do to improve the design of this simple machine and discuss how simple machines are important in our lives.
