Fun fact about wheel and axle is that the wheels generally spin in a balanced circle around an axle. Wheel and axel is used to move heavy objects from a place to a another place. Unlike a nail, a screw has spiral grooves down its spike. A screw is pressed down against wood and turned with a screwdriver. The grooves cut into the wood. Screws is to hold luquid into a crate so not luquid would spill. A pulley makes moving heavy loads a lot easier. A single pulley simply changes the direction of an object. Pulley is moving a heavy object from a low place to a high place

prediction
I learned that predicting is when you think about something that will happen.

Prediction is hard because I have not been practicing how to prediction.
Balance
Group A learnt how to balance.
In pairs we learnt about balance by standing in different positions and giving eachother a small push.We discovered when we know the push is coming we can prepare to balance better.
We had two teams, two or more people had come across a bench at the same time and not touch the ground. This meant we had to focus on our balance.
In the final activity we had a team of three people and the partners had to hold the person that was standing on the ball so they do not fall.
I was nervous because I thought that I was gona fall and break a part of my body.
