**This is the chapter slice "What Are Force, Motion, and Work?" from the full lesson plan "Simple Machines"** Just how simple are simple machines? With our ready-to-use resource, they are simple to teach and easy to learn! Chocked full of information and activities, we begin with a look at force, motion and work, and examples of simple machines in daily life are given. With this background, we move on to different kinds of simple machines including: Levers, Inclined Planes, Wedges, Screws, Pulleys, and Wheels and Axles. An exploration of some compound machines follows, such as the can opener. Our resource is a real time-saver as all the reading passages, student activities are provided. Presented in simplified language and vocabulary that will give your students a kick start on learning. Includes color mini posters, hands-on activities, Crossword, Word Search and Final Quiz. All of our content meets the Common Core State Standards and are written to Bloom's Taxonomy and STEM initiatives.

Give your students a kick-start on learning with all the required fundamentals for teaching force, motion & simple machines.

Give your students a kick start on learning with our Force and Motion 3-book BUNDLE. Students begin by exploring different Forces. Conduct several experiments on the force of friction and air resistance. Understand that acceleration and deceleration are examples of unbalanced forces. Next, take the mystery out of Motion. Graph the velocity of students walking home from school at different speeds. Follow directions to find your way using a treasure map. Finally, get familiar with Simple Machines. Conduct an experiment with first-class levers to study distance and force. Find the resistance force when walking up an inclined plane. Each concept is paired with hands-on activities and experiments. Aligned to the Next Generation State Standards and written to Bloom's Taxonomy and STEAM initiatives, additional crossword, word search, comprehension quiz and answer key are also included.

There are simple machines all around you. Some may look exactly what they are while others have been built to be a little more complex. In this book, you will learn about the science behind simple machines and how they are affected by force and motion. You will also read about the incline plane, the lever, the pulley, the screw, the wedge, and the wheel and axle.

Work is done when a force, a push or a pull, causes something to move in the direction of that force. The work produced by a force may be as breathtaking as the rush of a speeding roller coaster or as simple as the slow turning of gears in a complex piece of machinery.

This packet acts as a fulcrum for knowledge, helping with the work of teaching students about simple machines. Explore the effects of these machines with activities and lessons that provide an overview of levers, pulleys, wedges, friction, and more! Reinforce or test students’ understanding using the provided discussion questions, worksheets, and answers.
