Hannah studied forces of motion at school and they were assigned to make a cardboard pinball machine that demonstrated at least three forces. I really prefer school projects that are done at school, but I suppose there is some learning that can happen with parent projects. I say parent project because isn't that what it becomes if it is done at home? What 3rd grader can make a pinball machine out of cardboard by herself?? Steve did most of the mechanical stuff and I helped with cutting and the hot glue gun, but the design was all Hannah. It did turn out cool. It was ocean themed complete with fish flippers, seaweed, a wave, a crab, and real shells.
If you landed it in the hole above the crab, the marble came out the side and Hannah gave the winners prizes.

And Olive got to be the tester right and win the prize.
Still bet everyone had fun trying it out. Looks like a FUN project.
