Benavides 6th Grade Science Project

On January 16th, the 6th grade students at Benavides Elementary put what they had been learning to great use! The Bulldogs have been learning about Simple Machines and their uses. They created a two part project of a Simple Machine. Part one is a 3D model of a Simple Machine of their choice that consists of one of the following: inclined plane, wedge, screw, lever, pulley, or wheel and axle. Part 2 is the writing assignment that identifies and explains the type of simple machine or machines included in the model. These 6th grade students worked hard and created wonderful projects. 
Great job Bulldogs!
