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
