Gears, Levers & Pulleys
Where would industrial Sheffield be without gears, levers and pulleys?
Your class will explore how gears, levers and pulleys work before identifying them in the large industrial machinery around Kelham Island Museum. They will tinker with Knex to make their own simple machines which do a variety of jobs.
