hey hows it going? im a trainee teacher and im doing a lesson next week involving the class building the agreeable sheep paper model. I was wondering if anyone would have any advice they could give me about this lesson or if anyone has done it themselves before?
any information would be greatly appreciated!

Dear Bredaghgael,
I have built this model before, it's one of the easiest model from Rob to build....Practically, its mechanisms is a cam, a simple one, in shape of snail. It rotates smoothly then there's an abrupt fall, that makes the character moving abruptly. For more details about this mechanism consult the section mechanism and moving in this homepage. One good point to show to the pupils is about cam, axle, box, alternating moving and introduce some simple mechanical terms. It is a good idea to build one before you introduce it to the class. If this feedback is Ok, go on, but if you still have doubts or would like to comment anything, please be free. I guess here is the right place to ask for helping. Kind regards,
Hugo.
