Lesson Title: Today we are learning about
How do levers and gears transmit the rotational effects of forces? (Separates only)
Remember to check for PROGRESS
Focus on Knowledge, Skills and Understanding
Success Criteria: You will show your learning by...
  1. A simple lever and a simple gear system can both be used to transmit the rotational effects of force
  2. Students should be able to explain how levers and gears transmit the rotational effects of forces.
Think about how you can match the needs of ALL students
Keywords:
  • Rotation (1)
  • Gear (1)
  • Lever (1)

AFL/Key Questions:
  1. What can be used to transmit the rotational effects of a force?
    A simple lever and a simple gear system can both be used to transmit the rotational effects of force
  2. How do levers and gears transmit the rotational effects of forces?
    When someone uses a lever, they exert a force (the effort) around a pivot to move an object (the load). Levers rely on the principle of moments to act as 'force multipliers' - they reduce the effort needed to move the load by increasing the distance over which it is acting.
