Description

How do gears work? Do they rotate together, at the same speed, in the same direction, or with similar force? This activity allows students to investigate gears, growing their understanding as they tinker, experiment, and even engineer amusement park rides. Optional labs teach fractions, ratios, proportions, and mechanical advantage.
