Pulleys Gizmo

One of the mechanisms you built last week was the "Belt and Pulley". Today, you're going to learn more about Pulley Systems through an online simulation or Gizmo. It will be important that you follow the instructions on your exploration guide that is handed out.
First, go to the Explore Learning website. There will be a small, green button in the upper right of the screen that says "Log In". Click on that. Your username is "byronstem", and the password is "8stem". From there, you will search (in the search box in the upper right) for "Pulleys". The second Gizmo on the list will say "Pulleys" and that is the one that you want to Launch the Gizmo. From there, the instructions will guide you. Try to complete Activity A, Activity B, and the Extension Activity. See you next week.
