Cycle 2, Week 18 - Experiment #184 – Lifter
To Accompany Foundations Science (updated to 5th edition Guidebook)
Included Supplies:
Screws x 5
Not Supplied:
None (all required items are included)
This experiment, with its clear observation of how the screw's threads spiral downward as it turns, helps students visualize the underlying mechanics of simple machines. The results underscore the concept that a screw’s design converts a turning motion into a steady, linear advancement—a foundational idea in understanding mechanical advantage.
