Forces in Motion – Inclined Planes

Forces in Motion – Inclined Planes

Our current science unit is investigating Force and how simple machines are used to make Work easier. There is a lot of formula use in this unit, something that some students are being challenged by.

This lab was looking at the use of inclined planes and how the use of them makes the force required less, but, due to the increase distance, the amount of Work remains similar.
