Description
We all hate chores... but what if we had a machine to do it for us?
This project allows students to show what they have learned about simple machines! Their task is to invent a useful machine that will make their lives easier when completing chores.
Students will need to strategically incorporate 3 simple machines that work together to complete the task. They will create a poster diagram where they will show their machine design and then, in a media/oral task, they will advertise their machine by putting together a commercial. A slideshow is included to introduce the task and explain the guidelines.
*Students are not required to build the machine, however this may be an option to enhance the project.
Resource Includes:
- Slideshow to introduce the project (12 slides)
- Printable Student Package (4 pgs)
- Instructions page
- Templates for brainstorming and a good copy diagram
- Rubric
*Everything is editable for your convenience
