You've been learning mechanisms, more specifically, cams.

For your SRD work:
- Watch the following two short YouTube videos on cam mechanism toys to get some ideas
  1. video 1
  2. video 2
- Sketch a design of your own mechanism toy on paper that include the following parts with labels:
  1. A frame
  2. cams such as drop cam, pear cam etc
  3. followers
  4. Crank
- characters and their intended movement
- Hand in your work in person or take a screenshot upload to www.bournetolearn.com

You have learned three classes of levers in lessons. The most common use of levers is to create a mechanical advantage in order to assist in an action, as seen with pliers, door handles, pry bars, staplers, and wheelbarrows.

Your Work

Find out what mechanical advantage means.
Use three examples, for each, describe the mechanical advantages it provides AND explain what happens when the distance between the fulcrum and the effort changes. For example, what is the mechanical advantage of a wheelbarrow? What happens when the person who pushes the wheelbarrow holds the wheelbarrow’s handles closer to the load?

Later this year you will be designing and building your own electric drag car.
Electric cars have been around for many years; you will need to research this.
Click on the link, Bournetoinvent, you will be able to read up on the history of the electric car.
Complete the Silver and Gold badges for week 1, 'The Delport Flyer' and upload your work to www.bournetolearn.com.

Open Scratch by clicking on this link.
Once inside the project, click the green flag icon (top-middle of screen) to run the program.
Replace the 'Square' command with 'Pentagon', as directed on the page.
TASK: Make the program draw a pentagon. Upload a screenshot of your code and of the shape.
Swap the 'pentagon' command for 'pattern'. Think about how this works.
TASK: Modify the code to make a program to draw a pattern of your own.
- You could have something made from 50 triangles
- Or a square, then a pentagon one after the other before rotating a bit and repeating
- Or you could change the pen colour a bit after each shape is drawn.
Remember - you can't break anything, so don't be afraid to experiment.
Upload a screenshot of your best pattern AND a shot of your code to BourneToLearn.
