Nov. 17-21

This week we will have a Science-in-a-crate to help us explore simple and complex machines. We will be working in lab groups and will be examining gears, levers, hydraulics, Pascal's Law and many other concepts to do with machines.

Here is the vocabulary that you were asked to complete in class:

Mechanical Advantage
Speed Ratio
input force
output force
friction
efficiency
work

For homework you are expected to complete the questions in your lab booklet as well as to finish your vocabulary.

See you in class!
