MR: OK, what happened here? 11:09
11:08:00	Sham: The rope is too skinny (comotion
		[Teacher waits until class is quiet]
11:10:	MR: Now it’s my turn to speak up here, and I want to select speakers rather than having conversations go on here. What happened here now? Amanda?
	Ama: the pulley was stronger than half the class
	MR: who was, did the pulley do anything?
	Xs: yeah
	MR: who pulled?
	Xs: we do
	Xs: you
	MR: I pulled, but I got some help you mean?
	Xs: yeah, a lot
	MR: So, (3) Devin?
	Xs: You
	Dev: Ahm you were pulling the pulley and I think that gave you the advantage over 8 or 9 of us or 10, and you were winning till Ian’s wheel stopped and then you had an advantage over us
	Sham: Ahm (2) ˇ You were pulling your own string, though, like one end of the string was tied to tha tha end thing, and you were just pulling it, and the pulley was attached to the thing, so when you pull, the whole pulley moves and everyone on the string moves with you.	[T selects him through pointing] [pointing to blackboard] [pulling movement]
	MR: So you are saying that one pulley is attached, one side attached?	[begins drawing pulley]
	Sham: to the, to the banister, over //there]
11:11	MR: and] the other side was not attached?
	Sham: no, the other side we were trying to pull. If we had let go, you would be off somewhere=
	MR: =where was I, on which side was I?
	Kian: °A°
	Don: no, you were on B
	X: B
	MR: Don, why do you think I was on B?	[points to BB]
	Don: because you were pulling on the little rope attached the pulley, and we were just going in a circle
	MR: You, you were pulling this string (.)
	Don: yeah (.)
	MR: and I was pulling on the side that was?
	Rile: °let’s switch sides°
	Don: supports, strong supports	[T draws on the blackboard]
	MR: who supported me?
	X: you see the?)
	X: (Don?)
	MR: sh:sh: who supported me? where (2)
	Mac: the pulley
	MR: OK, the pulley (.)
	AJ: us, that supported us, °(there was no one to hold it?)°
	MR: out loud AJ
	AJ: never mind
	MR: no, I DO mind
	AJ: OK, I forgot
	MR: out loud
	AJ: I forGOT
	MR: Sh::sh: (3) Carla?
	Car: the railing out there
11:12:	MR: the railing out there, the railing there helped, the railing helped part and what helped me to make use of the railing?
	Ril: the pulley
	MR: Amanda?
	Ama: the pulley
	MR: the pulley, the pulley sort of helped me to make use of the (.) of the railing, and I have you pull on the open end. See this, what would have happened if we had rigged up the pulleys like, like Shamir wants me to do? Something like, (.) what would have happened if we had set up the pulleys like this? (3)	[drawing]
	Kian: yeah
	MR: what would have happened in this case? Jennifer?
	Jen: well, it would have been easier for the class to pull you (.)
	MR: because?
	Jen: because there is nothing helping you, only you
11:13	MR: so in this case, when you have a pulley fixed somewhere, and I pull one open end, and the class pulls the other open end, I don’t stand a chance (2)
	Sham: but
	MR: there was a question? (2)
	Sham: but, when we were pulling on that other one, we were pulling, we were just pulling the banister string
	MR: No, you were pulling here, this pulley	[open end, A]
	Sham: yeah, but it was attached to the banister, if we pulled really hard then the (.)
	Don: I know, I //know]
	Sham: if we] pulled the hardest, then the banister would fly
	Dani: we were pulling where the pulley is	[T walks to the block and tackle]
	(12)
	Dani: tough guy
	MR: you guys were pulling on this one here	[T holds the string, see Figure 1]
	Don: that’s a strong //support]
	Asl: but you would] have lost if there was a 1000 people on //there]
	Chan: It wou]ldn’t have moved because I think //it is attached]]
	Asl: //Yeah, exactly]
	Sham: see, he is, ] actually it does
	MR: it is attached to that pulley, but that pulley isn’t att//ached]
	Sham: no, but] it’s attached to the banister
	Chan: (and so?) what are you
	MR: No, my rope is attached to the banister
	Sham: you had your support, if all of us let //go,] you would have been //in] Kelowna 11:14 ((laughter, 1))
	X: no]
11:14	Sham: You would have been //in] Kelowna	[Laughter]
	X: no no]
	MR: Don?
	Don: the class was your strong support, we were holding it, because if we had’a let go you would’a
	Sham: we were holding you up
	Don: yeah,
	Sham: because of that pulley
	MR: oua, no, I don’t know who held who up? (.) Chantelle?
	Chan: well if the other rope is hold on to there, then we wouldn’t be pulling anything, ‘cause it’s it’s stuck onto there, so
