(This picture is an example of a simple machine, which will be covered in the paper "Machine Design Physics")

Today in class we had a substitute and his name was Mr. Brosey. We started off the class by picking up a new paper (page 36) called "Machine Design Physics." Mr. Brosey explained to us that the paper asked that, by using 6 simple machines, we create one final machine. These 6 simple machines are Wheel and Axel, Level, Wedge, Pulley, Screw, and Inclined Plane. The project will be out of twelve points. After he was done explaining we all went to get laptops to visit the sit on the paper that would help us get started. We then worked on the paper for the rest of the period. If we got done early with this we could work on our K'NEX Roller Coaster Demo paper and graphs (Page 35). The paper and graphs are due Friday for class. The "Machine Design Physics" paper is due Tuesday for class. A few reminders- We have a test for Unit 7 on Monday, so make sure you study over the weekend. Also, with the test comes the unit study guide, this Unit 7 study guide will also be due Monday, the same day as the test. The study guide is pretty lengthy (about 8 pages) so if you haven't started it yet, make sure you start as soon as possible. Mr. Manning will be back in class tomorrow so make sure if you have any questions about the material that we have been studying, you get to him and get your questions answered.
