Mouse Trap by Chris

In literacy rotations we played Mrs Hamilton’s old mouse trap game. Each group played it in the corridor in front of our class. There were many simple machines in mouse trap, there were gears, inclined planes, wheels and axles, wedges, pulleys and fulcrums. It was very tricky and confusing but we eventually completed it. We learnt how simple machines work. Mouse trap is a really good example of how to use simple machines. Before we tried it everybody was excited. By Chris 17/3/11
