Have your students conduct a scavenger hunt around the classroom or their homes to find examples of the simple machines! This simple yet attractive worksheet provides an organizer to record the results of the hunt. Images are included to help ELL / ESL / ESOL / LEP students as well as students who need help with reading. Simple machines included: inclined plane, screw, wheel and axle, pulley, lever, wedge
I assigned this as homework. The students loved the activity and couldn't wait the share their answers. Lots of fun, thanks.

I have been a public school teacher in a highly respected district in the Atlanta metro area for the past 11 years. I have taught very diverse students, usually all together in one group! After teaching fourth grade for ten years, I am now teaching a computer lab special to 3 and 4 year olds, and loving it! I am also the technology coordinator for my public, special needs school. You never know what changes life will bring!
