Today in class we started simple machines, work and power! Yey a new unit!
We took notes on google docs. here are the links:




Julia,Viktor, and Noam were our laptop-note takers for the day.

We learned the formulas and simple definitions of these things.
The formula for work is W=Fd be sure to make the W capital because the lower case one s for weight.
For homework we had a worksheet with work & power math problems.
For example one problem looked like this: How much work is done to move a box if the force applied to that box is 65.7 N and it is moved a distance of 12.1 m?
Formula=W=Fd
Plug=65.7N x 12.1 m
Chug=794.97J
Homework for tomorrow is to finish math problems sheet.


THE NEXT SCRIBE ISS IVA!!!!!

  1. Good post. The picture is really good but it excludes the wheel and axle. Also yo excluded the formula for Power(P=W/t).Also you should probably delete the sentence after the links to the force notes because it just restates things you already said.

  2. Awesome post! I liked that you put the picture and the links to the Google Docs. I also liked the example of the math calculations that we had to do.

  3. Laura - this was a good post for the introduction of work and power. Although I think you could have gone further with your explanation of those scientific concepts. you have a few spelling problems, but your grammar looks good. The pictures at the beginning add a nice touch, but you are missing wheel and axle. Overall, nice work :)
