We then give the students toolboxes and have them take apart an item of their choice and try to find as many simple machines in the item as possible.
Chris,
1. Are you saying that you dismantle the appliance and then see what you can make out of the pieces - i.e. simple machines?

2. What do the tool boxes have in them?

(I'm thinking about what we would have to supply/carry and what would be allowed - those types of things)
