Today, students will be experimenting with pulleys to determine the mechanical advantage of adding more pulleys. We will do 4 different stations with 1 to 4 pulleys at each. Students will estimate force and distance raised for each and then do actual measurements of height raised and force needed on each. They will also be doing experiment journals in the scientific method to help explain what happens. You'll see data sheets come home next week.
Also, our Minute to Win It On Stage begins this week, since all students have had time to practice. We heard a couple of students last week who wanted to try and boy were the others impressed. Hopefully this will spur all students to want to work on math facts.
