Simple machines. Creative and critical thinkers.

Join our Grade 4 field trips for hands-on STEM learning! We focus on critical thinking, problem-solving, and creativity, helping students develop innovative solutions that meet real-world needs.

Design Meets Needs:

2-layered Conveyor belt

  • Students will learn how this simple machine makes work easier by understand the function and mechanics of pulleys.
  • Students will learn how to move an object over a long distance using a belt transmission, and how you can change directions.
Young Engineers
Design Meets Needs:

ferris wheel

  • Students will learn how to decrease the speed of this machine to ensure that the Ferris wheel does not spin too fast.
  • Students will use critical thinking skills and enhance their models such as adding more seats and poles, and showing off their creativity.
Design Meets Needs:

power plant

  • Students explore the mechanisms of gears, and how they transfer motion from one component to another.
  • Students can observe how different sized gears affect speed and motion of this simple machine. Students will learn to use gear systems.
