• Open "Chapter 8 - Work and Machines" PowerPoint.
• Go to slide 38 and check your answers to the key questions for section 2.  
• Read through each slide in section 3 of the PowerPoint.  Make sure all of your answers are correct throughout section 3 in the note packet. Examine, in detail, how each simple machine (lever, inclined plane, wedge, wheel and axle, pulley, screw) makes work easier. 

2. Check your answers on the following worksheets:

• Answer KEY: Mechanical Advantage - (Math in Science)
• Answer KEY: Mechanical Advantage and Efficiency 

3. Complete the "Work and Simple Machines" activity.  Once the electronic document loads, you can click on the link at the top of the sheet to take you directly to the website.  This handout was given to you on Wednesday.  Check the make-up folder if you were absent.  Ensure you fill in your answers on the answer sheet as you work through the activity.
