| The
Process
The first step in trying
to get your package into the house is to learn about the six simple
machines. Go to
Simple Machines Learning Site and click on each simple machine. When you
are finished take the quiz. If you miss any question go back and look at
that machine again. Click here to go to a
note taking sheet to help you complete this portion of the project.
Now that
you know what the simple machines are you are ready to visit some rooms in a
house and identify some common objects that you use everyday that are
actually simple machines. You will also be asked to name the simple machine
for each. Go to
Edheads Simple Machines, click on start and
complete the activities for each room in the house. Click here to go to a
note taking sheet to help you
complete this portion of the project.
You are
now ready to move your package into the house. Write three paragraphs telling
what simple machines you would use to get the package up the steps and
into the house. You must also explain how you would use each machine and
tell why you think it would work. Tell how using these simple machines made
your work easier. Click on the Evaluation button above to see a rubric on
what must be included in your paragraph and how it will be graded.
