Simple Machine- Part 3- Creating a Ferris Wheel
by Amanda Roum
This is part 3 of a unit. Links to the first 2 lessons are included. This lesson focuses on building the base for the Ferris wheel. Students are encouraged to design and create a base that is wide enough to hold their wheel and tall enough to keep their wheel aloft. They will need to create a base that is flat and strong enough to hold their wheel while it spins.
