5E were tasked with building their own machines to transport water from the River Nile to land. Using inspiration from the shadufs used in Egypt, we explored the use of levers, pivots and counterweights. Ingenuity and interdependence was shown by everyone, producing some really unique devices. Amazing work and effort 5E!
