Pulleys

 I am all about easy lessons centered on a topic with wide appeal.  Pulleys are usually part of Simple Machines lessons.  See what the library has available about pulleys.


 Teach Engineering has a complete lesson, Powerful Pulleys.  You may just want to try Pulley’ing Your Own Weight instead.  Here, here, here, and here are pulleys with different materials, such as a rolling pin, LEGOs, or a spool from thread.  Here is a harder, pulley lesson for older kiddos. Culminate an afternoon of fun with this Pulley Challenge.  Who can lift the most marbles?  Make this the best year ever!
