They learn the fundamental building blocks of mechanical structures as well as the physical principles underlying them, such as gear motion, pulleys, levers, wheels, and axles. Children create increasingly complex models of varying themes with appropriate building materials. They learn experimentally the usefulness of Simple Machines (gears, pulleys, levers) which is the basis of any construction (Engineering) and understand the concept of energy by introducing motors and batteries to give motion to the models they use. The aim of the lesson is for children to work in groups and understand the conversion of mechanical energy into electrical energy by using a switch manually.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_message message_box_color=”turquoise” icon_type=”entypo” css=”” icon_entypo=”entypo-icon entypo-icon-star”]Objectives of the program<\/b><\/p>\n

By the end of the program, students will be able to:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Recognize the simple machines in everyday objects<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Build their own constructions that move with one or more simple machines<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Participate in challenges that require applying simple machines to solve problems<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Work in groups and cultivate creativity, collaboration, communication and creative thinking skills<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
