Hello and welcome to the Ben Show. I know there is really no such thing as the Ben Show but I couldn't think of anything else. You might also want to know that the picture to your left is from dvice.com.This season's topic is machines, and boy, are there a lot of machines in this world. I bet if you walk along any modern street on a regular day in a regular place, you will see at least one machine. There are two types of machines, simple machines and compound machine. Learn about simple machines at http://www.mikids.com/Smachines.htm and read about compound machines at http://library.thinkquest.org/CR0210120/Compound%20machine.html or play a compound machine game http://www.edheads.org/activities/odd_machine/. Also, you are probably wondering why I have the picture of the vehicle. That is because we did not only learn about machines, we made our own cars and raced them in one of three categories, uphill, SUV, and speed. The results were as shown:
Uphill:
No entries
Speed:
Keiichiro-Angri Car-2.99 seconds
Gareth-5.34 seconds
Satoshi-5.72 seconds
Albert-2.88 seconds
Julius-13.00 seconds
SUV:
No entries
Also, due to the use of gears that required more powerful batteries, Ms.Nelson had to make a special race for me and Bertram who used gears in our machine. But due two the fact that both of us had technical difficulties. The results were as shown:
Ben-n/a
Bertram-n/a
NOTE: This does NOT count as a type of race, it was basically speed with better batteries.
We also learned about other things such as electricity, friction,acceleration, and gears.
Here is a youtube video about simple machines working together:
