Fifth Grade Compound Machine Museum

St Brigid of Kildare School

Mac's class ended their study of simple machines with a project to design a compound machine that included at least 2 simple machines. Today they opened their museum of compound machines. I was truly amazed at the amount of creativity and ingenuity I observed. This was so much fun!

Here are some shots of Mac's catapult when he completed it at home...

Mac launched 3 marshmellows simulatneously.

Other classes visited and some chose to try to catch the marshmellows in their mouths!

Here are some other inventionsby Mac's friends...
