Teaching Strategies and Distributed Guided Practice/Summarizing Prompts: After the simple machines video review the types of simple machines using the Smart Board Simple Machines Lesson.
Lever : Beam or Rod that pivots at a Fulcrum and moves a Load when Force is applied.
Wheel and Axle: A continuous lever attached to a shaft.
Pulley: Variation of wheel and axle attached with a belt.
Gears: Variation of wheel and axle that uses teeth and can not slip.
Inclined Plane: A ramp like device that spreads work out over distance.
Wedge: Two inclined planes together.
Compound Machine is two or more simple machines joined together.
Summarizing Strategies:
Have students use the simple machine matching questions on the SmartBoard. have student play game online.
Homework:
List a product for each simple machine that is just made from the simple machine or the simple machine is part of a compound machine.
