5 exciting lessons to understand simple machines
Each lesson consists of video-theory, interactive problem-oriented tasks, tests on logic, and DIY assignments. All materials are ready to launch a science club in less than a week.
Lesson 1. Ramp
The easiest way to show that rather than applying a high force on a short distance, we can apply a lower force on a long distance instead
Lesson 2. Wheel and axle
Learn more about the most well-known simple machine and apply your knowledge to beat Archimedes in a "racing competition"
Lesson 3. Lever
How far from your friend do you need to sit on the seesaw if your friend weighs twice as much as you?
Lesson 4. Pulley
Try to lift large weights and understand the difference between a simple and compound pulley
Lesson 5. Wedge and screw
Learn about wedges and screws and refresh your knowledge of all other simple machines

What students say
- It was a super interesting lesson! I learned what a ramp is and I understood how simple mechanisms help you in everyday life. We did tasks on computers. It was cool!Harry, 4th grade
- So, a pulley is like a magic thing that can help you lift heavy stuff by changing the way you pull on it, and it's super cool because you can lift things that would be way too heavy to lift by yourself!Peter, 4th grade
- There is no physics lesson in our schedule yet, but recently we had an interesting science lesson in the computer class.
We watched a cool presentation about how it's easier or harder to lift things on a slanted surface depending on how steep it is, and how we can use this in real life.
After the explanation, we completed interactive tasks on this topic on computers.Anna, 4th grade - Today, we had a really cool lesson where we learned about simple machines, and I had fun doing the activities, solving puzzles, and learning new things, and I'm excited for more lessons like this in the future!Jessica, 4th grade
