The Lever project and pneumatic project combined to make Ghost Dragon.

At Davis Creek Elementary in Barboursville, West Virginia, Mrs. Simon's entire 5th grade class
worked on LEGO Yellow Mini Sets of which there are  levers, gears, pulleys, wheels, axels, and pneumatics.
Since the class is so large we also used some of the LEGO Introductory Projects from the
Motorized Simple Machines.
