Leonardo's Mystery Machines


Leonardo Da Vinci made sketches of hundreds of different machines and contraptions in his notebooks, but he didn't actually get around to building any of them. Looking at the sketches you made which of these machines do you think would or would not work? Why? Which of these machines do we have today? How are they the same or different?
Comments:
We think the water lift, The landing gear, the catapult and the thread cutter. Why? because they look they could work.
We have the helicopter today but we have better technology so we can make it better and the design is different.
We have tanks top but ours are powered by motors.
We also have Machine guns but they look different!
And there is more but we cant think of anymore differences that we haven't already used for a different machine

we think the water lift,machine gun,tread cutter,catapult and the crossbow will work.we think the landing gear and the tank might work and the helicopter will not work.
 
We think that the machines that would work would be:the catapult, water lift, the thread cutter, and the tank. we think that the machine gun, landing gear, helicopter, and the crossbow would not work.
Today we have the helicopter. They are the same b.c they both have spinning propellers(wings) to make it go up. They are different b.c on todays helicopter,they dont run around on it. We have more technology!

We think that the machine gun, the catapult, thread cutter, crossbow, and landing gear are the only ones that would work. They look like they could be modern inventions that DO work. Today we have helcopters, tanks, and machine guns. They are different because our machines have batteries and most of them are smaller.

WE think that the water lift, catapult, and thread cutter would work because they are simple enough to work (realistic designs) or have worked before.

We still use all of Leonardo's inventions except the water lift. We have different designs but we use the same ideas. Our technology is more advanced and complicated than it was back in the day, for example we have motors in our machines.

You write very well.
