Investigating simple linkages using card models.
A mechanism is a device that changes movement in some way. Linkages are a type of mechanism. There are different types of linkage, each of which change movement in different ways.
This could be used in Key Stage 2 as a stand-alone activity or as an...
This resource investigates modelling and constructing pulley systems designed to lift loads.
Suggested learning outcomes include:
- To be able to recognise and describe the main parts of a pulley system.
- To understand how a pulley system can reduce the effort needed to lift a load. ...
