Audrey and the Electric Fan!

Audrey took apart an electric fan.

We were able to see how the motor and fan blades were connected.

This fan was interesting because it has springs wrapped inside; 

we think it was to diffuse the air as it circulated away from the blades.

The parts of the fan were not that complicated like the cassette player.

Ethan dug into an old cassette player!

So many things to study!

 He kept taking it apart!

Soon, it will be just parts!
