DESCRIPTION
This to me has possibilities which are endless when it comes to teaching measurement, geometry, time....etc., etc., etc. Think about all of your academic areas. I'll bet you can think of endless possibilities as well. My third graders are going to LOVE it! I think it's pretty amazing as well.TRANSCRIPT

Ultimate Earth Mover
This is the largest earth mover in the world.....
built by the German company, Krupp, and seen here crossing a federal highway
in Germany en route to its destination (an open-pit coal mine).
It is cheaper to move the thing like this, than to construct or reassemble onsite.
