Description
This activity helps students understand how a simple machine called a winch makes lifting easier. Students learn that people have used winches for a long time to pull water from wells. Working in teams, they design and build a model winch using simple materials. Their goal is to lower a bucket and lift it back up without spilling anything. Students test their designs, observe how well they work, and make improvements. Through this process, they explore how forces and motion work together and how simple machines can help people do work more easily.
