# Science in Starlings: Wind Powered Pulleys!

In Science this week, we have been investigating forces, and have used our knowledge to create wind-powered pulley systems! We worked in small teams making windmills, attaching string, cups, straws and paperclips together to create an amazing pulley system. We were amazed to see the windmill turning and the small basket being hoisted up!
