We had to go Motat to learn more about Simple Machines.
When we entered Motat we were walking through the old looking stores.
My group went first to the Pump House and learnt about Why do we need to Pump large amounts of water around Auckland. My answer was NO WATER NO LIFE.Without water we could not survive.As we learnt about the Pumphouse we learnt that it was bullt in 1877.
The next place was the boiler room where we met Mike Austin.He told us the boiler was made in 1957 which was a long time ago.He also showed us about the coal that you put in the boiler to make the flames.
We also went to SIr Edmund Hillary’s Exhibition.We looked at his Tractor and why he had a huge chains on his wheels of his tractor.We also learnt when tracks were used which was in the 20th century, also known as Caterpillar Tracks or Contentious Tracks.
When we went to a classroom we learnt that the bigger the object the stronger it is. The little the object the less strength it has.
I loved going to Motat because I learnt more about simple machines and mechanisms.All my questions about Simple Machines were answered and I also learnt about new stuff.
