Simple Machines

Here's what I did when I taught the students about simple machines last year. I split the class into 6 groups (one for each simple machine, there a six simple machines). Each person in the group had a different job. One| child was in charge of making (building) a working model or invention based on that simple machine (I called that child the Engineer). Another child (in the same group) was in charge of gathering as many obects (real) that are based on the simple machine (that child was the Prop Coordinator) and the other child was in charge of designing a large display board with pictures of that simple | |
machine and facts (found on the Internet, in magazines, etc.). All work was done in school. After all their projects were finished, each group had to present their projects (display board, invention, and real samples) to the class. They were the teacher of the day. The class had to take notes, Hope this helped. DO you have any good ideas for teaching landforms or nutrition? Thanks, June
