Pulley Lesson

Today, I went to Katie's class and taught a 5th grade STEM lesson. The students were excited and engaged during this lesson. I decided to teach her students about pulleys since they had already been discussing simple machines. The lesson involved different types of pulleys and pulley systems. They recorded this in a chart, and discussed the differences after.
The class was great during this lesson. The students were a little loud at times but that is expected with this students and this type of lesson. The class came to a consensus that pulley systems made it to lift objects. I wanted to have some pictures to show but the lesson was extremely fast paced and I did not have time to stop the lesson in order to take pictures.
