Energy Machines
Energy Machines is an extension of the learning resource, Energy Machines. The print resource offers two hands-on learning experiences that help students develop an understanding of two important energy machines – a pumpjack and a drill rig – and the moving parts and forces that make them work. Students should do the pumpjack activity in the print resource before trying the on-line activities.
The on-line resource uses graphics, sound, animation and real-world examples to help students apply their knowledge of machines to construct an animated model of a pumpjack. Further, students practice problem-solving skills and apply principles of basic physics to identify what is wrong with a completed pumpjack and figure out how they can fix it.
