Bee.a.maker on Instagram: "DIY Christmas automata is a beautiful STEM activity for kids An Automata is a playful and inventive way to explore simple machine elements like wheel and axle, cam and linkages while creating a mechanical sculpture. The spinning element that you turn with handle is called CAM. The element above the CAM that moves according to the shape and position of CAM is called CAM FOLLOWER. The CAM follower transmits it's motion to the element outside the box. Here that…

Experiment with simple machines in this SciGirls activity where students design and create their own moving sculpture. Machines help us get work done; some are complex, with lots of moving parts, and others are simple. Cams are one example of a simple machine. They are like gears, but have no teeth and come in lots of different shapes. We use them to convert rotating motion (such as turning a crank) into back and forth motion (such as waving an arm). You'll find cams in everyday objects such…
