5 Lever investigation guidance You will need to identify where the best position is for the fulcrum in a simple lever. Identify those things that will need to stay constant while you take measurements and make observations for your main variable. Plan methodically to ensure your testing is fair, logical and the results are not unreliable. Lever remit: The lever needs to enable one 70kg person to lift a 100kg elephant Equipment: Table top seesaws (already prepped for lesson) Movable fulcrum Plasticine Force meter Possible variables to investigate What are you investigating? Can you come up with an enquiry question for your investigation? Measuring and recording your results What will you need to measure in order to know where the fulcrum needs to be? What will you use to measure with? How will you record your results? Think about what will help you to spot patterns. Your findings What have you found out? Can you make any conclusive observations? Can you make any recommendations? Record your recommendations in the form of a diagram, showing where forces are acting and the positioning of the fulcrum Improvements How could you have made your investigation more accurate? Is there any other way that you could have investigated? Investigation mathematics How can you scale your lever, weight and input force to the equipment and force sizes of the development team? Weight in Newtons (N) of meteorite Length of plank Input energy in N In-house testing In-field reality 1000N 2m 70N
6 Sample results tables (blank and complete) for lever investigation LEVER INVESTIGATION Enquiry question/s: Variables we kept the same: Variable changed: Distance of fulcrum from load: Can the load be lifted? Does Load x distance of load to fulcrum = effort x distance of effort to fulcrum Overall recommendations Scientific rationale Possible improvements to our investigation What else could we have investigated?
7 LEVER INVESTIGATION Enquiry question/s: At which point between the load and the effort exerted does the fulcrum need to be to lift the load? Variables we kept the same: component parts, the input force being exerted, weight and mass of load Variable changed: Position of the fulcrum Distance of 40cm 35cm 30cm 29cm 28cm 27cm 26cm fulcrum from load: Can the load be No No Nearly Nearly Nearly Lifting Yes lifted? Does Load x distance of load to fulcrum = effort x distance of effort to fulcrum Overall recommendations slightly No No No No No No Just about! Place the fulcrum at 26cm from the load Scientific rationale We used a plank of 20cm and a weight of 100N. We needed to position the fulcrum 1.3cm from the load in order for 7N of effort to lift the load: 1.3 x 100 = 18.6 x 7 (just about!) Possible improvements to our investigation We needed to attach the load better to lift it. Our fulcrum could have been better for balancing the plank. What else could we have investigated? Moving the effort position. Increasing the effort.
8 Pulley investigation Encourage chn to make both types of pulley then text them out with a range of weights to see which can lift heavier weights easier. Instructions for making a fixed pulley You will need: Knitting needle or length of dowelling Cotton reel Length of string Small container/bucket to hold load 2 hooks Length of 10mm wood Load, e.g. marbles, wooden bricks Method: 1. Fix hooks into length of wood and place wood across a gap between two tables. 2. Push dowelling or knitting needle through the cotton reel and place onto hooks. 3. Place load in container and lift. 3. Tie the string to handle of container and run over the cotton reel. 4. Pull on string to lift the load.
9 Instructions for making a block and tackle pulley You will need: 4 cotton reels 1 hook Length of 10mm wood Length of string Scissors Small container/bucket to hold load Load, e.g. marbles, wooden bricks Force meter Method: 1. Fix hook into length of wood and place wood across gap between two tables. 2. Thread string through two cotton reels and tie to the hook (block). 3. Place the load in container and lift. 4. Thread string through two more cotton reels and tie to container (tackle). 5. Tie a third piece of string to the hook and wrap it round the cotton reels as shown in the diagram. 6. Pull the string to lift the load. 7. Compare the force needed with that in point 3, using a force meter. Discuss with chn whether it was easier or harder to lift the load using the pulleys. Which is better for lifting loads the fixed pulley or the block and tackle? Which pulley system do they think they would like to recommend to the development team and why? Yr6: What do they think would happen if you added more cotton reels? Try this out and see if it changes their recommendations. Make a scatter graph to show the results.
10 Key science questions for lever & pulley investigations Yr6 What are you going to investigate? (How moving the fulcrum increases or decreases the force needed to lift the load; which pulley system lifts the easiest?) What does the pulley/lever do to the amount of force needed to lift or move something? What should remain constant each time you test the lever? (The component parts, the input force being exerted, weight and mass of load.) How can you make sure these stay the same/constant each time? Why is this important? Yr5/6 What are you going to investigate? (How moving the fulcrum increases or decreases the force needed to lift the load; which pulley system lifts the easiest?) What does the pulley/lever do to the amount of force needed to lift or move something? What do you not need to change each time you test the lever? (The component parts, the input force being exerted, weight and mass of load.) How can you make sure this stays the same/constant each time? How might the results be affected if these things change, even by just a small amount, each time? Yr5 What are you going to try and find out? (How moving the fulcrum increases or decreases the force needed to lift the load; which pulley system lifts the easiest?) Does the pulley/lever make it easier or harder to lift or move something? Does it make the force you use have a bigger or smaller impact? Why do you need to make sure that the component parts, the input force being exerted, weight and mass of load don t change during your testing? How might the results be affected if these things change, even by just a small amount, each time?
11 Sample results table (blank and complete) for pulley investigation PULLEY INVESTIGATION Enquiry question/s: Variables we kept the same: Variable/s changed: Pulley system Fixed pulley Max weight lifted Block & tackle pulley Block & tackle extension Weight lifted Number of cotton reels Overall recommendations Scientific rationale Possible improvements to our investigation What else could we have investigated?
12 PULLEY INVESTIGATION Enquiry question/s: Which pulley makes moving the load easier? How many cotton reels makes the dog pulley system lift 200N? Variables we kept the same: Effort force Variable/s changed: Type of pulley system Number of cotton reels Weight Max weight lifted Pulley system Fixed pulley 2kg 3kg 4kg 5kg 6kg(X) 5.5kg 5.6kg 5.7kg (X) Block & tackle 5kg 7kg 9kg 10kg 9.5kg 9.8kg 9.9kg 9.85kg pulley (X) (X) (X) Block & tackle Number of cotton reels extension Weight lifted 9.8kg 14.2kg 19kg 23.6kg Overall recommendations We would recommend the block and tackle style of pulley system, using multiple cotton reels. Scientific rationale The use of more cotton reels spreads the load more, making it easier to lift the weight. Possible improvements to our investigation We could have taken more care with our pulley design to ensure it didn t keep getting caught. What else could we have investigated? The amount of force needed for a set weight using various numbers of cotton reels
