=====Torque===== ====Concepts Learned==== Basic idea of torque - leverage. Pivot systems. Definition of torque in terms of = Force x distance ...Frictional torque? Experiments/demos Wrenches? How easy is it to undo a bolt with a short wrench vs. a long wrench. Can calculate how much torque one wrench has vs. another? Lifting levers - build them. Wheels! [?] Draw diagrams of force and torque...? ====Building/Design Challenges==== Each group given a weight, have to do calculations then build the thing? Very simple design challenge. OR build a trigger for the spring guns? Have that be the next thing? Figure out how much we need to resist force? <-- does this experiment make sense.
