Description
This 30-slide PowerPoint lesson on Simple Machines begins by examining what Simple Machines are as well as an explanation of what Work is. It then goes into the six main types of Simple Machines – Levers, Inclined Planes, Wheel and Axle, Pulleys, Screws, and Wedges. The lesson concludes by looking at Compound Machines which are a combination of simple machines.

The student version of the PowerPoint contains multiple blanks that need to be filled in throughout the lesson. These blanks are conveniently underlined and bolded on the teacher copy. I have found this to be the most effective means of keeping my students engaged and active without having them write everything out. This also leaves more time for discussion and activities.
