1. Which direction are your hand and the screwdriver turning?
The hand and the screwdriver are both turning to the right.
2. What is happening to the screw as you are turning your hand?

3. Which direction are you hand and screwdriver turning?
The hand and the screwdriver are both turning to the left.
4. What is happening to the screw as you are turning your hand?
The screw, with the rotation, is coming out of the wood.
5. Compare the forces needed to tighten and loosen the screw.
There is more force used to tighten the screw than to loosen it.
Analysis: It takes more energy to push the air down, which makes it a high pressure area. When the air is lifted up, it doesn't take as much energy, making it a low pressure area.
