A simple science experiment about the Simple Machines that enables your students to investigate how they work and how they make our lives easier. It uses common, everyday objects to help your students investigate the properties of simple machines.

This hands on experiment lets your students investigate what an inclined plane and how it can be called a "machine".

This experiment is differentiated with activities to keep your fast finishers busy, and comes with full Teacher's Notes that explain both the experiment and the science behind it so you will feel confident to help your students explore this topic and they will love doing it!

The Investigation Record your students can use to record their experiment and their learning is also included. You can use it as a printable worksheet, or display it on your whiteboard to act as a guide for your students to record their experiment in their workbooks.

This experiment and 5 others that compliment it are available in a bundle at a discounted rate at my TPT store: Engineering Experiments Bundle 2 - Simple Machines
