Synopsis

Recess may never be the same, once you and your students start making and using simple machines on the school playground. This award-winning volume shows them how to use readily available objects to make inclined planes, levers, pulleys, and gears.

Activity topics include: What is a simple machine?, other kinds of levers, simple machine combinations, putting it all together, and more. Skills challenged include: predicting, observing, recording, following directions, cooperating, and critical thinking.

Everything's here to help you make each project a success -- organizational procedures, required and optional materials lists (readily available), teaching suggestions, and complete, step-by-step directions for all projects.

Also features a two-sided, full-color (one side) pull-out poster with Simple Machines on both sides. Illustrated throughout with helpful line art as well as fun recurring "mouse" characters. All 16 pages perforated for easy removal.
