Field Trip: The Children's Museum in Portland!

Learning About Simple Machines

The simple machines program fit nicely with our new Forces and Motion science unit! 

We pretended to be squirrels. We learned about how we may be able to use simple machines to try to solve the problem of how to reach the feed in the bird feeder.

Special thanks to Jessica Proctor, Hyeri An, Jeff Davis & Sarah DeGroot for chaperoning!

Free exploration was 
a lot of fun too!

Thank you to the PCPA for funding 
the grant for this exciting field trip!
