Mechanical Systems Project - Marble-ator

Here is my Prezi presentation, "The Marble-ator!"

My science project "The Pulley Station"

Hey guys the photo above is my science project.
how it works: as you pull the rope and put an object on the hook it will lift the weight up!


Notice: everything is made of wood. ** Even the pulley !!


I made it like this (out of wood) because back in the old days there were only wood pulleys because iron didn't come out.

1st Class & 2nd Class Levers

Hey guys! So this video gives you a better idea of 1st class levers and 2nd class levers if you're a bit consfused. It also has a cool theory about coke cans :D

^ Just Copy and Paste. :)

Machines

Hey guys! I'll be having a science test pretty soon, so I read over the textbook, made notes. If your able to understand all my notes, then you're pretty well prepared. But please do anticipate questions on the test for like short answer and do it now so you can just recite it during the test.

Science Project # 1 (Mechanical Systems)

Science & Technology:  Mechanical Systems.

Project # 1

What Students will do?

           (“Engineering is the application of science to develop solutions and design structures that are useful to the people. For example, you might need to lift a large mass to the top of a sky scraper.”).  (Lionel Sander et al, 2008). You have just been appointed as the new City Engineer,  your job as the city Engineer will be to see how you can apply your engineering skills to solve problems that are facing the city.

Design and construct a device made from simple machines that you can use to perform simple tasks. Your design is any simple machine that you dream about; you are at liberty (freedom) to design any type of machine you like. Think about all the simple machines we have learned about in the unit on “Mechanical Systems that we just concluded. In your design think about the concepts of Mechanical Efficiency, Mechanical Advantage, Ideal Mechanical Advantage, Work, Energy and Force.

Criteria for Success

1.      Your final design must include at least one simple machine.

2.      Input force may be applied by your hand.

3.      Your mechanism must be able to perform simple task.

4.      Your design must allow for measurement of the force applied by your hand.

5.      Use your imagination to add more features.

You can do this project in peers. Ask questions if you need more clarification.

Good luck!
