Urbas - Science Week of Dec. 12 - 18


Students have been busily building machines from LEGO parts and this week investigated pulleys and cranes for mechanical advantage. Next week they will finish their investigations and actually build a machine that they design to solve a problem they are given in a practical test.

Urbas - Science Week of Dec 5 - 11

Students are working with LEGO kits this week in an effort to investigate simple machines which lead to more complex machines.

Future engineers.
It HAS to fit!
Finally after a long week, we enjoy the weekend. Here is Mr. Urbas skiing in Colorado during the past weekend in Breckenridge.
You don't get runs like this in Illinois.
