Simple Machine Vocabulary Cards and Word Wall

Simple Machine Vocabulary Cards and Word Wall!

This is a set of 16 simple machine vocabulary cards that you can use with your students when teaching physical science or engineering. I created them to look like trading cards and my students LOVE using them. I’ve also included an enlarged set of the cards that you can post in your classroom as a simple machine bulletin board or word wall. This is also available with a simple machine game in the Simple Machine Vocabulary Bundle.

Product Languages:

English + Spanish (A Spanish Simple Machines version is now included for FREE)

This set includes:

• 16 simple machine vocabulary cards with the word and picture on the front and the definition on the back.

• The same 16 simple machine cards with the words on them but blank spaces for students to draw their own picture and room to write their own definition.

• 8 blank cards that students can use to add more simple machine or engineering vocabulary to as they come across it in their studies.

• A template for a labeled box that students can cut out, write their name on and color to store their simple machine cards in.

• A list of ways you can use these simple machine vocabulary cards with your students that is based on Robert Marzano’s “Six Steps to Better Vocabulary Instruction”. This list helps me because I can show parents, administrators, other teachers, etc. that I’m using research-based methods in my classroom.

• An enlarged set of the cards that you can post in your classroom as an simple machine bulletin board or word wall.

• 2 blank copies of the enlarged cards that you can use to add to your bulletin board or word wall

• Trading Card Manual: 15 pages of tips and ideas on how to use these trading cards in your class.

• Spanish Simple Machines set now included for FREE to use with Spanish speaking or bilingual students

I print these simple machine cards out double sided on card stock so they look and feel like real trading cards but they work just as well on regular paper.

• force

• friction

• distance

• load
