Dear Bloggers,

2LF were given the design brief to make a fan that turned as fast as possible using gears or pulleys, was free standing and could be turned by hand.  This problem solving activity required the students to apply some of the principles they learnt in previous lessons.  The simple wind blown fan taught them how to use and attach the propeller blades and the spinning top launcher had gear chains and gearing up.  It was up to the students to bring all their skills together and create the new masterpiece.  The first successful team below put the fan into the sky like a trophy.  Well done to all!!

 

Thanks for calling by
