This is a fun game and a wonderful way to investigate the 'ordinary' everyday household items that are actually simple machines. Suggestion to the future 5th graders... bookmark this cite as a favorite (hint: it will be a great review tool in the very near future!)

Alivia and I Kristin have noticed what all things in our own houses are simple machines. For example,
there are knives,fridges, and etc.

Some of the things were complicated to find so other people showed us.Like in the garage you have to double click on the board or something and the gears pop up. IT WAS fun.
