I have taught this class to a homeschool co-op in the past. I truly feel the ability to see these machines work, excite learners to retain and discover what makes "work" easier. With having worked with a variety of learners I find it very important to show visually and explain through videoed experiments how and why things are happening.   Also reviewing assignments is a vital part of comprehending  the material.
