Description:

Using the newly released Sphero Blueprint building system, we'll build and test all of the simple machines. Simple machines, such as inclined planes, pulleys, gears, and linkages--form the foundation of a mechanical engineer's toolkit. Each simple machine creates mechanical advantage by changing the direction and/or magnitude of force and makes it easier to do work. In this unit, students explore all of the simple machines through hands-on exploration and application, investigating how to use mechanical advantage to our advantage in machines seen every day in the world around us.
