The students investigated the difference in the benefit of inclined planes at different inclines in "Inclined To Move".

8-1_Boys1.jpg (126864 bytes)

All eyes are on Caleb. You'd think someone would check the reading on the scale!

 

8-2_Boys1.jpg (116957 bytes)

Here Joe's doing all the work. At least the others are recording data, not just watching Joe.

 

8-3_3Ks.jpg (140336 bytes)

At least Kim and Katie look interested in what Katherine's doing!

 

8-4_Boys1.jpg (128540 bytes)

Although Cory's doing the bilk of the work, Jon is trying to read the scale.

 

8-4_Girls1.jpg (117228 bytes)

This is good! Claire pulls while Allie reads the scale (without her glasses), and Liza holds up the meter stick.

 

Inclined_3K.jpg (112973 bytes)

These three ladies always work hard! Great teamwork!!

 

Inclined_8-3_1.jpg (117463 bytes)

I don't know if Ryan is yelling out the reading on the scale, or yelling at Jordan!

 

Inclined_Don_Jake.jpg (127185 bytes)

Donavon and Jake work together well, but I wonder if  Donavon's sweatshirt is really keeping him warm?

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

An understanding of the advantages of the three classes of levers was the goal of the "Levers Lab". 

3K's.jpg (133536 bytes)

Here's a classic: I line up the shot, making sure Kim & Katherine are visible, and that they all are working on the lab. After I take the picture, I realize that Katie's arm hides her face!

 

8-1_Boys1.jpg (99484 bytes)

Ben tries to see the reading on the spring scale as Caleb applies the force, but Ross doesn't seem too interested.

 

 

8-2_Boys1.jpg (104693 bytes)

Joe's quite talented. He's reporting the reading the spring scale while looking at me.

 

 

 

8-4_Boys1.jpg (113158 bytes)

This was such a good shot - Danny and David are focused on the lab, but at the last second Kyle turns to look at the camera, in mid-sentence!

 

 

Aim_Jack.jpg (97298 bytes)

Aimee and Jackie get a good reading just before they "break" the spring scale!  Too bad that video didn't turn out!

 

Allie.jpg (118799 bytes)

Oh, this is good! Allie is working really well, and so are most people in the background. But check out Dani! She's scowling at me!! What's she so mad about?!?

 

Cory_Jason.jpg (152821 bytes)

Cory and Jason combine their skills to complete their task. And in the back, Aimee is trying to hide behind the cup, peering over it.

 

Luke_Jeff.jpg (144776 bytes)

Jeff discovers that using a third class lever, with the force applied near the fulcrum, doesn't give you much of an advantage.

 

Mike.jpg (82612 bytes)

Mike was kind enough to take a few extra seconds to get his reading as I set up for a photo.  Thank you, Mike!

Danny_Kiss.jpg (110483 bytes)

Danny shows just how he feels about science.

 

 

Liza_Claire.jpg (140849 bytes)

Some days, nothing goes right. I tried getting a good shot of Liza and Claire working, but the meter stick is right in front of Claire's face! ... 

Liza_Claire2.jpg (144301 bytes)

...So I tried again, later, and got the same results!! Both times, I  realized it only after the picture was taken!!

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Here the students investigated the difference in advantages between fixed and moveable pulleys.

Allie_Dani_Chelsy.jpg (130218 bytes)

Dani almost looks like Lady Liberty holding that spring scale up!

 

 

Cas_Jam_Cass.jpg (145363 bytes)

Casie and Jamie are not excluding Cassie from the lab. Casie is pulling the spring scale, Jamie is reading it, and Cassie is recording the data. Teamwork!!

 

Jackie_Liza.jpg (131089 bytes)

Liza looks quite interested in the lab, but Jackie looks really bored!

 

 

Jason_Cory.jpg (78145 bytes)

Cory seems to be having a bit of trouble reading the spring scale.

 

 

Jeremy_Jordan.jpg (112660 bytes)

I'm not sure what Jeremy is reading here - Jordan has the scale!

 

 

Kyle_Dave.jpg (81074 bytes)

David seems to be having a bit of trouble with the moveable pulley, but Kyle's about to lend a hand.

 

Kayla_Britt.jpg (113786 bytes)

I do not know who took this one. Kayla and Brittany look fine, but that string cuts right down Kayla's face!

 

Ryan_Mark.jpg (153195 bytes)

Ryan seems enthralled with the pennies as Mark does the work.  And there's Katie peeking around from behind! 

 

Mark_Ben.jpg (94364 bytes)

Mark is left holding the scale as Ben records the good stuff.

 

 

Joe_Jake.jpg (130117 bytes)

While Joe is doing most of the work here, Jake is is very interested in what's happening, and appears ready to jump in and help.

Kayla_Britt2.jpg (76558 bytes)

Kayla and Brittany are almost too short for the length of string they're using! Now, as I asked them, how could they solve this problem?
