This week room 9 has been working on gears for inquiry. We had to get ourselves into groups of four and Miss Kirkpatrick will give us a work sheet to fill out. Miss Kirkpatrick also showed us the four gears. The green had 8 teeth, the yellow had 16 teeth, the red had 24 teeth and the blue had 32 teeth. After we finished filling out the work sheet we got to use two wood with holes in it and put two pegs in the holes. You then have to put the gears on the pegs. You also have to make sure that the gears are connected. We then had to find out what will happened if you have a red gear and a yellow gear and the yellow gear is the driver and the red gear is the driven. Then you have to turn around the yellow gear around one full turn and try and see how far the red gear goes. The answer was three quarters.
