12/12/12
What a day for the number 12! Some of us dressed in 12 gear. We worked on questions based on the number 12. In math, we worked on the 12 days of Christmas. In the afternoon, we worked in teams to compile lists of 12. To close out the day, we worked on a scavenger hunt based on items of 12. What a great day!

The Lever
We discovered that when you shorten the length of the effort arm, it takes more force to lift a load. What will happen when we move the position of the fulcrum? We will find out tomorrow.

Pulleys
Did you know that a pulley does not change the amount of work done? (Work is the measure of the force to move an object multiplied by the distance the object is moved.) A pulley works with the force of gravity. That is why it is easier to move objects with a pulley. Can you name some real life pulleys?
