When you open your Google Drive account today, you will see that I have shared a document with you called Simple Machines template. You will need to click on "Shared With Me" which is located on the left side of your screen and should be right below "My Drive".
Mr. Rook would like you to complete this chart in preparation for the Science Fair. We will focus on 3 different simple machines today: Wheel & Axle, Gears and Inclined Plane. We will divide this list among the class so that we don't have all 15 students working on wheels, for example.
Here are some internet resources you may use for this project:
Edheads - Glossary of terms
Simple Machines - if you scroll down, you will see a list of simple machines, their definitions and examples.
Scholastic - Simple Machines
Edheads - Simple Machines Game - if you play this game you will learn about different examples of simple machines.
Use these websites when we work on Part 2 of this project:
Enchanted Learning - Levers
The Franklin Institute (a screw)
