Primary grade pupils can become fascinated with simple machines. This paper suggests that teachers have simple machines in the classroom for a unit of study. It proposes some guidelines to create a unit of study for six simple machines that include the fulcrum, inclined plane, pulley, wheel and axle, wedge, and screw. Friction, gravity, force, and inertia are the concepts to be studied in all facets of the unit. (ASK) Reproductions supplied by EDRS are the best that can be made from the original document
