Simple Machines
Fall, Winter & Early Spring
The early Pennsylvania-German farmer had many different types of simple machines at his disposal, and even though they were simple, that doesn’t mean they didn’t make the farmer’s life much easier. Participants will learn about the screw, lever and inclined plane, and how these machines were used on the farm. This program has many hands-on activities, including trying out a catapult! Minimum Age: 9 years
Hands-on History Programs are an exciting, interactive way to learn history – Throughout the fall, winter and early spring, Quiet Valley offers a number of Hands-on History Programs for any group. These programs cover a variety of topics relating to life on an early Pennsylvania German farm.
