We watched the The Way Things Work DVD on inclined planes today, at the girls' request. Afterwards, Madeline decided to try to build the steep inclined plane by herself. I was not sure if she would be able to follow the instructions on her own, but I figured she would ask for help if she needed it. I was pleasantly surprised by the fact that she was able to complete the project on her own, and even went on to make a modified version of the wheelbarrow to hold a doll to ride down the incline. On another day we will experiment with the benefits of using an inclined plane.
