Simple Machines and Movement Workbook (Grade 2 Ontario Science)

This workbook covers the Grade 2 Simple Machines and Movement unit in the NEW 2022 Ontario Science curriculum (Structures and Mechanisms).

In this workbook, students will demonstrate an understanding of movement and ways in which simple machines help to move objects. Topics include types of movement, kinetic and potential energy, push/pull, and the six simple machines (pulley, wedge, lever, inclined plane, screw, and wheel and axle). Students are given the challenge to design their own machines to help the environment using simple machines!

Interactive, hands-on activities are explained, with follow-up worksheets included. There is a variety of readings, long and short answer questions, creative writing activities, cut-and-paste activities, and drawing prompts included to create a varied workbook suitable for many learning styles.

To support assessment practices, Ontario curriculum expectations (Strand A and C) are clearly identified on each page. A quiz is included at the end of the workbook.
