The Task...

The task is to make a compound machine. This is a machine combining one or more simple machines (pulley, lever, wedge, incline plane, screw..etc...). OK, so when Cade came home from school with this project my first thought was WHAT IN THE HECK ARE WE GOING TO DO???? I pretty much went straight into panic mode, I am not a "put things together" type of person. Last night I asked the missionaries for ideas and this is what we came up with. A incline plane, pulley system to help lift heavy objects up, and into a truck or something. After work I went tot he store, and gather the necessary parts. Cade and I put it together, and it works good. So I am grateful that it was easy, and that it is done. Tomorrow we have to work on the speech to go with the project, that will be the not so fun part!
