We started our day working with our gear kit. I really underestimated Retta's engineering skills. She kept getting frustrated and I was busy with Musa, so I kept telling her to hold on, reminding her I would help her in a minute. I kept reminding her to breath, not to get frustrated and to keep trying. Next thing I new she said, "Yay, it works." She had made a complete circuit, with lights! Then she worked for a long time with a rubber band, and finally got it hooked up to the motor so it turned the gears. Musa and I were still back in beginners alley, trying to get gears to hook together.
Musa did make a car, I would not even have thought of that. He was thrilled when he saw that it actually moved. Now, he is trying to figure out reverse!
I am so glad I invested in this set....I purchased it used from another homeschooler, such a good deal. There are a few on eBay. Exclusive Educational Webpage
