Simple Machine- Part 2- Creating a Ferris Wheel
by Amanda Roum
This is part 2 of a unit. The other lessons are linked within each lesson. During this lesson, students will be encouraged to collaborate and imagine different solutions in order to connect the sides of their ferris wheel as well as participating in the hands-on activity of creating it. The students will learn how to use levels to ensure that their ferries wheel will spin correctly.
