Innovative Back Scratchers


Our overarching theme of the year is innovation.

Perfect for the year 2020.

First problem to innovatively solve?

An itchy back!


To kick off our study of simple machines, we each make an innovative back scratcher.

We each are given a ruler, a fork, and some chenille wires. 

The holes in the ruler came in handy.

We are problem solvers. "How do you get this fork to be attached secure enough to stay on?"

Standing by the web cam and showing our friends at home 

"See, look at my design!"

Our friends at home can see us and we can see them. 

Testing out his double ended back scratcher

Thinking like an engineer and telling about his design 


Since we are scientists, we label our lab diagrams. 


Being innovative is right up our alley. 

Our study of Simple Machines is off to a wonderful start.
