How Do Wheels Turn?

This week we had a great time painting with toy cars.  We rolled the wheels that we covered in paint all over the paper! 

 L.U. asked, "How do wheels turn?" while she was exploring and investigating with building materials.  The whole class became very interested too!  Here is how we answered this question!
