Salvatore Di Blasi: Clone of EV3 - Introduction to Gear Trains

Submitted by Salvatore Di Blasi on 19 March, 2018 - 10:41
Overview: 
The goal of this lesson is to give students some additional hands-on experience with the NXT kits parts and introduce the idea of gear trains (which is explored in more detail in the Getting in Gear lesson).
Objectives: 

Students will be able to:

1. Describe how the relative size of the gears on a crank and a wheel in a gear train determine performance

2. Relate the gear train behavior to the example of a bicycle on a hill
