Here are some suggestions for students’ science notebooks:
Following the first activity in which students listed things they noted about their mechanisms:
- Draw any mechanism you find interesting.
- Label its input, its output and its pivot.
- Explain what it is used for, and what you have to do to operate it. ï?£
Following the sorting game:
- What categories did you use to sort your mechanisms?
- List some items from each category.
- What other categories could you have used?
