The comments ..T are from School teachers

 

 

1C - This is the mechanism to discover today: a double friction wheel: the double 3D cam  transforms a circular motion in another orthogonal and alternating circular movement .
 The two cams are vertical eccentric and staggered by 180 °: when the rim is at the top, the horizontal wheel rises and rotates in one direction, while when the second is at the top, the horizontal wheel is raised but rotates in the opposite direction.		 2C - This is an automata by the artist Susie Stolpe that uses the same mechanism. You may click on the image to see the movement of the heads of the two cats. 3C - Students can move an automata whose mechanism is hidden.

3T.... The careful reflection of a student who tries to predict new facts, "poking" in mind for knowledge already acquired (as in photo no. 7, with different instruments)
4C - Students begin to think about the mechanism. 5C - First hypothesis, first drawings. 6C - The idea that there are two wheels becomes a drawing.
7C - Starting from the design of step 1 is not wrong. 8C - To put ideas into practice each crop wheels. 9C - And puts a stick in the wheels, making the hole off center.
10C - For those who have made the holes in the center there is a problem ... 11C - The mechanism works! 12C - Luca helps to put the straw in line.
10T.. we proceed by trial and error 11T.... The achievement of the goal increases the sense of self-efficacy 12T... the assistance of an expert gives support and increases the sense of personal responsibility of the boy
13C - The hot glue guns are ready on the table. 14C - And the straw is firmly attached to the box. 15C - The most important part of the mechanism is now ready.
16C - Starting to think about the shapes and decoration.
16T.. the exchange of ideas and collaboration to achieve a common goal		 17C - Some draw directly on the rubber. 18C - But perhaps it is best to start drawing on a sheet.
19C - So you can even remove without damaging the rubber. 20C - This guy is building the lair of a fish. 21C - And this is a black fish with white wings and a red tail.
22C - All automata are on the table for the presentation. Luca asks if everyone is ready. 23C - A look from art professor. 24C - This hole swivel received too much glue.
24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32T, but above the n. 24 ... kids learn to monitor and adjust their activity of mental processing and acting out the difficulties encountered and the tools of self-correction.
 
25C - A timid turtle is inside its shell. 26C - There is a lion in the classroom! 27C - An ax is chasing a bear, but it wont take!
28C - The elephant has a nice pair of blue ears! 29C - Black and white bird can finally move. 30C - There is an eagle blue and yellow with the mechanism a little bit off-axis.
31C - The colorful snake look in her faces authors. 32C - This blue fish looks around. 33C - A video about this second step
