Simple Machines: Not so Simple but lots of FUN
Students will explore the basic form of simple machines. They will learn how to place the fulcrum on a lever to increase and decrease the mechanical advantage of the machine. Students will be asked to create pulley systems to lift heavy object with ease. Students will compare the incline plane to a straight lift. As the students explore the simple machines they will be introduce to a spring scale and the Newton as a unit of force… as well as the concept of mechanical advantage.
Cost is $15 per child, per session
