Pulley Labs










We started our 2nd Science unit on Pulleys. Today, students investigated the differences between Single Fixed and Single Movable pulleys. We also used our spring scales to measure the amount of effort (Newtons) it took to move our load. Enjoy the pictures!

Lever Lab









We have been working on Levers in Science for the last 3 or 4 weeks. The kids studied what makes a lever and how different levers operate. They were very surprised to see how many levers one uses in a day. We are in the process of finishing up levers and will be going on to Pulleys soon! Here are pictures from our recent Lever Lab!
