Weekly Quiz. We will have a weekly quiz this year, in an
attempt to help you keep on top of the learning. The quiz concepts
are posted outside of my room, as well as here, approximately 5 days prior
to the quiz. This
week (March 12th)
Your quiz this week will be based on the
levers. You will need to know information about and the difference amongst
the three classes of lever.
Next week (March 26th)
For your quiz this week you will need to know
how to determine mechanical advantage of different types of simple machine.

Assignments. These are the assignments that have been assigned for
this unit. If there is no due date set, you will not submit it, simply
complete it and have it in your binder. Note:
Dates that assignments were assigned are approximate, as I teach four
classes, and not on the same day. |

|
Name that System
Assigned: Feb 24th Due: Next Class |
This task involved picking a system (any system other than a
garden) and listing the five features for that system (purpose, input,
output, components, processes). |
| |
|
|
Work Questions
Assigned: Feb 25th Due: Next Class |
In class you were presented with 5 questions to help you
check your understanding of the content from
lesson 2. The answers to
these questions are posted at the end of the lesson, so you can check how
you did. |

|
Work, Eff. and Mech. Adv. Calculations
Assigned: March 3rd/4th Due: One
Week |
For this assignment you were given a series of
questions covering
the concepts we have looked at so far in this unit. The concepts
covered are Work, Efficiency, and Mechanical Advantage. You have one
week to complete and submit the questions. Please recall that in class
I indicated that the last question is a high level 4 question, not all
students will be able to solve it. However, my expectation is that all
students have something for the question, whether it be an attempt at the
math, or a written explanation of what you think you would need to do to
solve it. |
