How toys work

Toys can work by a push, a pull, a spin, a press and some toys work by winding them. This toy in the picture works by a press.This toy came from Mcdonalds. It is very old.It can work by pressing the palm tree on top.There is a spring inside that forces the chair to sway back and forth. It is a very fun toy!

Hilda-Rose learns about cogs.

What I learnt about Cogs  

Cogs are used in toys.

They are shaped like a circle and have teeth on the outside.

Cogs can be used for movement on any object, like a toy.

So yesterday we made a cog ourselves. We had to buddy up with a partner and I chose my best friend obviously. We were given a piece of cardboard to make our cog. We drew a perfect circle then we drew the teeth and cut out the shape of the cog. It didn't take time to finish our project. We tried them out and they worked perfectly.
