Gears and pulleys

Here is a lab for gears and pulleys that we did this week.  Lean all about mechanical advantage by testing out some of the equipment in class.

If you are done early try out these virtual labs

For teachers the worksheet is available for download HERE in English or French

Driver and driven

Speed ration and direction of rotation

Direct lift - 500g = 50N

Fixed pulley - Changes direction of the force, MA = 1

Movable pulley - MA of 2 = Force advantage

Mixed Pulley - MA = 2, Force advantage and changes direction of the force

Block and tackle - MA <1 - Force advantage.  Every time the cord goes around the movable pulley the mechanical advantage doubles.

Simple Machines II

The block & tackle pulley that went wrong!

Here is a look at the examples of simple machines I brought to class.   Make sure to check out he online activities HERE

Four examples combining pulleys

Gears and chains

Wheel/axle and Screw (inclined plane)

Wedge = inclines plane

3rd class lever and winch

Great demos

I found this YouTube Chanel made by a homeschooling parent with great videos to demo just about anything you can think of.  We will be using this soon!
