Junkyard!

The third graders got to create mini golf "holes" for a project. They were told to use simple machines to make them...like inclines and teeter-totters. Sammy's mini golf course had a junkyard theme. Sam designed the thing! Aaron ripped apart an old lawn mower and used random things they found in the garage (not really a junkyard, but that's OK) and they built a super cool course. They used a pulley system. I thought it was quite ingenious! I lugged it to school and for most of the day Sam got to show his schoolmates how to use it as classes filed through the gym ready to golf. He loved every minute of it.
