Third-Grade Students Explore Mechanics

At Sunrise Elementary, third-grade students in Mrs. Johns' ELA class recently read Hugo, a novel about an orphaned boy who maintains clocks in a Paris train station while attempting to restore an old automaton. Following the reading, students explored the mechanics of clocks by constructing simple automatons. Using materials such as cardboard, straws, plastic canvas, and fabric, they assembled moving creations to gain a hands-on understanding of mechanical concepts.
