This week was shortened because of Memorial Day. Since we had Monday off, we weren’t able to learn a new topic for the week, which means this week we didn’t have a tech project. During class on Tuesday, we continued learning about gears. I am still unclear if gears are officially a simple machine or not, because some people say they are, but some people say they aren’t. So are they really simple machines? We learned about how to find the mechanical advantage of gears, and what specific types of gears do. It was a fun week, but I’m looking forwards to next weeks project, because sadly this week we didn’t have one.
