I use these recording sheets when teaching simple machines. I have used them in several different ways. I have formed 6 groups and given each group several books on one simple machine. Then I have groups share what they have learned and the other students in the class take notes. I have let them research simple machines online and had them record what they have learned. I have also shown some simple machine videos and paused for discussion and note-taking. The worksheets are made to give you flexibility and to save you time!

This STEM resource will help you facilitate a lesson in which students will think of ways to test the absorbency and then the strength of paper towels. Tips and suggestions for the lesson are offered. There are recording sheets as well. This activity is best done in a classroom where students have had access to scientific materials such as beakers, graduated cylinders, gram weights, etc. If these materials aren't readily available cups, coins, marbles, etc. could be used instead.

This resource really gets kids thinking!

This is a website design lesson wrapped around Simple Machines. I wanted my students to get the feel of WEB DESIGN without having to pay hosting fees...so, we used PowerPoint. I went through the process of setting up a PP as the website. We talk about links, images, web directory, etc. but we did it for FREE in PowerPoint. Once you activate the slideshow, it "feels" like a website. The kids loved it!

It is written for Simple Machines, but it could easily be rewritten for any topic in any class!

The directions for PowerPoint are on pages 3-4.
