Discussion Prompts
Observing
- What was the purpose of changing the pivot point on the Lever?
- How did changing the pivot point make the Disks easier or harder to lift by reducing or adding force?
Predicting
- Can a lever be built into other machines to make work easier?
- What do you think would happen if the beam used in the Lever was longer? Shorter?
Collaborating
- What worked well in your group?
- What challenges did your group have while building the Lever or adding pieces to the Disks?
- If you could repeat the challenge would you change the location of the pivot point? How would you change it?
