Picture 3/25: Pulley Construction
March 25
(picture 84 of 365)
Our 2nd grader came home with an assignment to build some type of simple machine and bring it to school.
Here is what we ended up with:
This is an old Construx set that we borrowed from Mom and Dad. It was actually my brother's set from childhood.
(if you don't remember much/anything about Construx, check this out:
As you can see, we helped her put together a crane that has a couple of pulleys.
A pulley being one of the simple machines.
So..... mission accomplished!!
It would have been so much, SO MUCH more difficult to build this with Legos; I'm very, very glad that Mom let me know the Construx were still at their house.
Out for now.....
