 Your machine seems really complicated. Did you eliminate anything on Day Four? How many simple machines and steps do you have now? yes we did eliminate some things such as the pully we where useing. we are useing a inclined plane a lever and a wheel and axle. **Day Five** **and Six**: <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"> Watching your invention evolve has been really exciting!

It wowed the crowd! What simple machines were in your invention? we used a inclined plane a lever and a wheel and axle Can you list the steps? 1. push dominoes 2. dominoes push ball bering 3. ball bering goes down inclined plane and through tube 4. ball bering hits mouse trap 5. mouse trap pulls bean bag 6. bean bag releaces hand and plays a note on the piano. What was the hardest part of this project? One of the hardest parts was when we had to find a way to pull the bean bag away. What was the funnest part of this project? The funnest part of the project was making the ball bering go down the inclined plane. What would you do differently next time? We would probubly make more steps.
