We began class today with the 22nd week of science news articles (since snow cancelled school yesterday).  We discussed section 7-3 & 7-4 notes.  I used shoveling snow as an introduction to using a machine to help you do work.  I had a student sit on a board and lifted the other end of it, demonstrating the effort force and distance, along with the resistance force and distance.  They created work input and output, respectively.  I also introduced Mechanical Advantage & Efficiency, and what they mean in practical terms.  Students were then assigned page 15-8 # 1&2 only.  We reveiwed the answers verbally.

No homework was assigned, and the Chapter 7 test is more than 3 weeks away.
