Simple Machines with Historic New England
Thursday, April 18, 10 a.m. - 12 p.m.
Casey Farm, North Kingstown RI
*note, this is a non-coop week.
 

Participants use all their senses while exploring the eighteenth-century barn; discovering the principles of weights and measures; and experimenting with simple machines, such as pulleys, screws, and levers. Experience simple machines as they have been used by New England families over the last 350 years.

This program will be run by Historic New England educators, the same group that did our Civil War and At the Farm / At the Bay workshops last year.
Feel free to bring a picnic lunch to enjoy at the farm's orchard after this 2-hour workshop.

Casey Farm is a 300-acre working farm in operation since 1725. It is a rare example of one of the original plantation farms of the Colonial era.

Intended Audience: Grade 1-8
Cost: $10 per child (not charge for adults or tagalong siblings who will not participate)
