Davis Creek Elementary
Introductory Simple Machine Projects

Davis Creek Elementary fifth grade began the 1999-2000 school year building LEGO Simple Machine introductory projects.  These projects are from introductory topics on gears, pulleys, levers, wheels and axles.  These projects build a foundation for other
LEGO projects that encompass these principles and build toward new concepts.
