Design Portfolio: The Technology of Buckets

Have you ever carried a bucket of sand to build a sand castle? Well I know I have. Something I have always wondered is what is the technology of buckets? Buckets can hold things so you don’t have to carry them by hand. If you are carrying them by hand  they may slip or fall. This invention is definitely helpful and one of the most used inventions in the world. It helps make carrying things easier. If you combine a bucket with a pulley it can work to cary the contents of the bucket over to the other side.

  1. Try, Claire. Then combine the humble bucket with other technologies, like simple machines, and you begin to see revolutionary changes. Combine the bucket with a wheel and axle and you’ve made the well and the water wheel. Humble, but transformative.
