Thanks to Bill Kees and 3M we had a great afternoon exploring simple machines and mechanical advantage. The students pictured are 4th form (like our seniors). They did not have physics due to staffing and supply shortages. They were PHacinated with the with the large lever and discovering how a “small” mass could lift a “large” mass. The girls were impressed with being able to split wood. One student made the connection between the pulley system and the movement of the ferry across the river. Another great day teaching.
