Get in Gear Investigation

This lab was, as stated in it's tittle, having to do with gears and what what types of gears do what kind of things. such as if you make the driving gear bigger than the driven gear the wheels will go faster because it takes the driving gear a very small turn to turn the driven wheel once. or if you make the driving gear smaller than the driven gear the wheels will move slower because it takes the driving gear a few full turns or one full turn to move the driven wheel all the way around or only a fraction. so this was what this investigation was basically about. it was quite interesting watching it happen and getting the realization that gears are very important.
