How to Create Simple Machines

Creating things using recycled items is a favorite activity of many people.  When seeing empty boxes and long cardboard tubes do you picture the many possibilities?

Ms Scott's class was given the challenge of creating a simple machine using the resources found in the CLIC lab. As the process was happening, Ms Scott recorded the steps using her iPad camera. Students then described what was happening on Ms Scott iPhone. After emailing this, she then printed out a word document.  This became the script for the final video project.

Students' scripts were highlighted for easy reading into the iPad.
