Description
What is work? Students learn how forces create motion, understand what work is, and discover what simple machines have in common and how they help us perform a large amount of work with minimal force. Students use mechanical advantage to turn a wheel and axle against a stronger opponent, haul their classmates across the room using pulleys, and find out if they can lift a teacher using a giant lever.
Capacity: 8 classes (200 students) per session; 1 to 2 sessions per day. Requirements: Gym, auditorium, cafeteria, or other large, assembly-appropriate space. Fee: $455 for 1 session; $300 for an additional session. Travel fees apply for sites more than 30 miles from the Museum. Reservation: Required. For information and reservations: 617-589-0354, travelingprograms@mos.org.
