Every gear has a job to do

Sprocket gears are set apart from each other and are

connected by a chain. Many bikes have a set of sprocket

gears which help you ride at an even pace, on any kind of

surface. Sprocket gears also pull roller coaster cars up the

first ramp of the ride.The chain has notches or pegs that fit

around the gears.When you turn one gear, the chain moves too, and it makes

the gear on the other end of the chain turn.These gears let you supply the

power in one place and have the power be used across a distance.

Set up the Sprocket Bicycle Gear model

with the chain wrapped around the two

sets of small yellow Gears.Turn the pedal

and count the number of times the Wheel

turns. Record your answer.What is the

gear ratio for these Sprocket Bicycle

Gears? What is the Mechanical Advantage?

(Refer to the “What’s the Mechanical
Advantage” Reference Sheet.)

Attach a cup with small weights to the

gray Rod with the Wheel. Measure the

force used to turn the pedals with

the K’NEX Rubber Band Scale. (Snap

the orange Connector at the bottom of

the Scale to the blue Rod on the pedal.)

Record your results.

Add extra links to the Chain.Wrap the

Chain around the set of small Gears and

big Gears. Now put the pedals on the axle

with the small Gears. Put the wheel on the

axle with the big Gears. How does it feel

to turn the pedals?

Repeat the process from Activity

Compare these results with your previous

results.Which set of Sprocket Bicycle

Gears need more force to lift the weight?

Why?

Now switch the pedals to the axle with

the big Gears, and put the Wheel on the

axle with the small Gears.Turn the pedals.

How does it feel? Does the Wheel turn

faster or slower? Why?

Repeat the process from Activity

4 Compare all your results.Why are the

gear combinations described as high and

low? How do your force and speed

measurements prove this? Which Gear

arrangement lets you ride fast with the

least force? Explain.

6 Why are sprocket gears a good choice for

a bicycle? Make a list of machines that

use sprocket gears. Explain why this gear

system is the best choice for these

machines.
