This project accompanies our unit on simple machines and students' own designs of Leprechaun traps that incorporate simple machines. These kits will integrate technology and design skills in a hands-on, inquiry format for students. Students will develop strong process and design skills. Students will strengthen their skills and ideas about choosing materials, using tools, working with the limitations of materials, solving problems, and overall project design. Students learn about the six types of simple machines and how they make our tasks easier. Students will apply their knowledge of simple machines to design fun contraptions and demonstrate them for the class.
