This hands-on workshop allows learners to handle wheels, pulleys,
levers, wedges, incline planes and screws in a way that makes abstract concepts "concrete" (yes, the pun was intended!).
Our Professional Presenter comes in dressed as a construction worker, but the children from the audience are the
ones who do the work.
Your tactile learners will come to life as they help figure out how to lift a 50 pound bucket
of rocks with a 5 pound weight, and why a wedge is such a handy tool. Using levers your youngest students will be able to
easily accomplish feats that NO human being can accomplish bare handed. This is a presentation that will be remembered and
talked about for a VERY long time.
Teachers will have no problem tieing lessons into the subjects taught. And
because the program also promotes reading and media center resources, it is a program that everyone appreciates!
Throughout the program, the kids learn how simple machines help us “Work Smarter, Not Harder.”
