Our visit to the marina building site was a great way for us to see how simple machines are used within larger machines.We saw pulleys, levers, cogs, ramps and hydraulic systems. We wore the appropriate safety gear to ensure we would be seen and safe while the machines were working. Dressed in bike helmets and high visability jackets we listened to Alan and Dino as they explained how they were constructing the marina. The highlight was watching the huge machines as they worked.
