In iSTEM*, students from Stage 5 have been learning about how simple machines such as levers, inclined planes, wheels, pulleys and screws can reduce the amount of effort required to complete a task.
iSTEM is a student centred subject for students in Years 9 and 10 that delivers Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) in an innovative and integrated way. Incorporating mechatronics, artificial intelligence, PBL, cybersecurity, engineering, 3D CAD/CAM, aerospace, and motion modules, iSTEM presents maths and sciences to students in ways that challenge not only their understanding of these key subjects but also their ability to manage projects and work in teams.
In this activity, students used Engino Mechanics kits to construct models of common technologies that utilise simple machines.
