M.O.T.A.T Trip 2

Wednesday 17 April 2013.

On a rainy day we went to MOTAT for our topic Simple Machines.Our guide was Melissa.She took us around and showed us all the different stuff.  

At MOTAT we were exploring the different exhibitions like the pump house .We looked at the future trains and very old cars.We also looked at the Military tanks and battle re-reattachment.We saw how coal was put in a fire to make steam.

Then we we went into the gallery where we saw fascinating cars and trams.We went upstairs to watch a movie about planes.We saw an old oven and a jukebox.” Wow! I had said looking at this really good looking racing car with the number 5 on it.I imagined me being in the driver seat.

After that we had to go for our tram ride past the Auckland zoo and also past and airplane.The tram was great fun.It felt like going on a ferry to somewhere.When we  got off the tram, we went to the challenge room.All of us went in the earthquake room.I had push the button and the earthquake began with a loud noise.It like being in a real earthquake.

During our class lesson with Melissa she  showed us all the simple mechanisms like a pulley,Wheel and axle,cogs and gears.Then we  had to build our own simple machines with blocks and wheels.In our team we made a double Decker bus.Other teams were making planes and pulleys.

Then we headed off to the exhibition room.At the exhibition room i saw cool car’s and picture’s.   

I Enjoyed MOTAT and would like to go there again.It was enjoyable trip. The trip made me learn more about Simple Machines. We are so lucky we could have a this great  opportunity.
