We learned about gears yesterday and today. There are lots of things to know about gears, and they are used all over the house. Even the popcorn maker has gears! They are used to turn the mixing arms that keep the popcorn kernels from sitting in one place too long.
We watched videos of gears on YouTube. They are very short, but most are very interesting. We watched how windmills work. They have lots of gears, and they have right angles, too.
I am thinking that we will try to make some gears out of clay, and see if we can learn even more. He likes to play with the popcorn maker, but it is used mainly too cook Bear. Poor Bear......
