Simple Machines SMARTboard presentation (ramps, levers, pulleys)

Created by

Melanie Kafader

This is a SMARTboard I used to teach 6th grade science units on simple machines. The focus of the the lessons is what simple machines are and how they help us to do work. I taught these lessons over a 4-5 day period. I designed the interactive SMARTboard presentation to be used with a science notebook, where the students complete each page in their notebook. If science notebooks are not available, handouts could be generated from the presentation pages. The presentation can be used as an entir
