Simple
Machines Make Things Go
Simple Machines Make Things Go supports a study of the structures
and mechanism strand in the Science curriculum. It presents interesting
approaches for students to use in applying concepts, and for recording
the results of their explorations and investigations during the
study. For example, students design, construct, and test a vehicle,
recording relevant observations in
writing, graphs, and in oral presentations. This resource includes
five booklets in which students record the activities they complete.
Teachers may choose to use all or some of the booklets or to modify
them to suit the needs of their students and the approach they are
taking with the curriculum.
