We are continuing to learn about simple machines, tools that make work easier without electricity or gasoline. We have learned about six different types of simple machines so far: levers, inclined plane, screws, wheel and axle, wedge, and pulleys. Students will have many activities to review simple machines, and will either take their Simple Machines test on Friday or next Tuesday, depending on level of readiness.
Next week students will make their own simple machine in groups. I have some material, but extra material to make simple machines is appreciated. Some useful materials to bring to school are blocks or triangles of wood, wood/plastic/metal bars, string, rope, wheels, objects to lift, etc. Please note: students are not permitted to bring sharp objects to school such as knives (for wedges).
