She Blinded Me With Science

As a third grader, Jillian has been studying simple machines.  For her science project, we constructed a elevator using a system of pulleys made with wooden spools and kite string.  

You pull up on the green tag to make the elevator go down, pull down on the tag to make the elevator go up.  The tag and the "weight" (packaging tape) always move in the opposite direction as the elevator car.

For fun, she added some passengers to elevator. 

They seem to be enjoying the ride!
