Today, VMNH educator, Robin Jensen, had students, first brainstorm about unconventional uses of everyday items like spatulas and whisks and to then invent a machine. The machines were to incorporate at least three simple machines (pulley, inclined plane, lever, wedge, screw, and wheel and axle), and successfully move an aluminum can across the table without directly attaching anything to the can. Although, none of the students were quite successful in creating a device with three simple machines, they showed great creativity and ingenuity with the machines that were developed.
