Prepare to be pulleyed
Galen has now learned about pulleys. And is having fun using one we made and attached to his bunkbed. He had to learn about physics specifically work, gravity, force, how to use gravity to work with you, friction and then getting the design right in the current setting. The design aspects will take more work, but I think he is on the upwards path. :)

It is really fun to engage learning things like pulleys. It's fun watching him "get it".
How come when you help a kid to learn you finally "get it"?
It is definitely the best way to learn.
That is why it is a good idea to teach someone else shortly after you have learned. Multi aged classrooms are good for that opportunity.
then I will tell Galen to show Ewan about the pulleys and maby why they work.
