Let’s Do Science: Who’s Got the Gear?
Bong wonders...
What kinds of things use gears?
Bing notices...
Gears are really helpful to make things move.
Bing had a hard time trying to figure out how to make that big unicycle work for that small Flocker. Even once he moved the pedals it still didn’t work. Once Bing used a gear, however, that little Flocker was ready to go. Can you find gears in your house? What do they do?
