Pulley Set
Learners learn how pulleys work and explore how multiple pulleys used in sequence
can reduce required force to move an object. Topics examined include force, pulleys,
and problem solving. Learners work in teams to design a pulley system to require the
least amount of force to move a weight. Contains enough materials for up to 6 groups of
4 to 5 Intermediate or Senior Phase learners.
