Mechanical Advantage

As we continue to explore mechanical systems we are completing a cumulating project where students have been tasked to show their understanding of mechanical advantage through whatever media they feel most comfortable.

This will be an ongoing project, and for right now students responsibility is to be coming up with a plan and start to plan and create their project.

To understand mechanical advantage we have explored levers, pulleys, and gears, and students are encouraged to use any of these machines as a part of their project.  Below is a link to the task planning sheet, which includes a list of the concepts that the final project is required to demonstrate. 

The videos below may also be helpful to help review the key ideas of mechanical advantage.
