      Sticky Note: This would be a great addition to a math lesson as well if the students were required to create, maintain, and balance a budget for creating this machine.

      6.4.2 Construct a simple device that uses potential or kinetic energy to perform work. Differentiation: Gifted students could go a step further and cover the next standard "6.4.3 Describe the transfer of energy amongst energy interactions" and do a write up on how energy was transferred during this activity

    This is a familiar activity!  This fun activity teaches students about harnessing potential and kinetic energy!  Very good for students who need to learn or like to work in teams!  Also would be fun on a family night.

      6.4.2. "Construct a simple device that uses potential or kinetic energy to perform work"

      This is a great activity that takes this standard to a whole new level- using the body to make a model of a machine.  Once the students have completed the activity, I would challenge them to think of what we use in our every day life that is made out of machines like the "marshmallow-smashing machine." Sixth grade students will love coming up with silly noises and motions- awesome learning tool/visual for kinesthetic students!

    Children are formed into groups to 'invent' a pretend machine that smashes marshmallows. Each child plays the role of a cog or part of the machine to move the marshmallow along. Children then read the story Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel, a machine that digs its way to a happy ending, and recognize how technological devices affect our lives.

      Have students research idea and make plans for thier cars before they begin production. They will be testing a hypothesis as opposed to just using the trial and error process.

    Favorite project growing up! Insturctions and ideas for mouse trap car models. Have students design on own, then come up with a "team" plan through cooperative learning.
