Pulleys In Motion Kit

This kit is designed to teach the mechanical principles of pulleys to a whole class.

The set contains:

• 18 single sheave pulleys
• 12 double-sheave pulleys
• 12 triple sheave pulleys
• 6 spring scales (500 g, 50 N)
• 1 roll of twine
• 20 pulley chain links
• 1 Pulleys in Motion teacher’s guide

The 32-page resource contains background information that gradually introduces students to fundamental pulley concepts, as well as reproducible student activity sheets and assessment ideas. The focus of the Pulleys in Motion Kit is to provide hands-on activities that are easily understood, and provide both intellectual and practical experience for the students. Because these activities are hands-on, students get a real feel for the forces at work. For example, they will feel the difference between a single and a multiple pulley system when they use the two systems to lift the same load. Covers concepts of work, power, mass and more.
