Simple Machines, Fixed/Movable Pulleys, Work, Mechanical Advantage (Word & PDF)
This a a basic activity to demonstrate the mechanical advantage of pulleys. Students can see that a fixed pulley helps only by allowing you to pull down with gravity in order to lift an object up. Movable pulleys double the amount of line pulled and decrease the effort required to lift an object. Both pulleys add friction, thereby increasing the overall amount of work done.
See the list of supplies. You may be able to make substitutions for some objects, but you will need several pulleys, strin

STEM Forces and Machines - Ramps and Cars
Forces, Motion, and Machines! In this STEM activity students will build ramps and test how the height of a ramp and can affect the distance the car travels. Extension ideas leave opportunities for students to design their own experiment and also test how the weight of the car may affect the speed and distance traveled. Students should be given some time to experiment with their ramp and car by increasing or decreasing the ramp height. In the extension activity students will need to add wei
