They started the lesson by giving us an apple and a board. We were to prop up the board to make it into an inclined plane. Then we were challenged to move the apple without pulling it or pushing it with our hands. We were given a few more materials and here are some of the ideas.
Most students used what they knew about simple machines to create a pulley system and use counter weights.
Some students added extra rate to really make it fly!
Great critical thinking and great use of science and engineering standards!
