Simple Machines
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
Activies in this book help students learn the different types of simple machines. It was especially helpful for those students who mainly learn through hands on experiences.
Great Introduction to Simple Machines
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
I used this book to introduce simple machines to my children. We also did a couple of the experiments. Most of the experiments were easy to do, and could be done with things I had around the house. The children learned a lot and had fun too!
Excellent elementary science experiments.

This book is the best I've seen for doing simple machine experiments at the elementary level. It is perfect for third and fourth grade science classrooms. The directions are simple to follow and the results of the experiments are easy to understand. The function of each simple machine was clear. Students are able to collect the materials from home and the experiments are designed for them to work together. An excellent teacher resource!
