Simple Machines UBD Unit Plan - Weebly
Simple Machines UBD Unit PlanEstablished Goals:3.2 The student will investigate and understand simple machines and their uses. Keyconcepts includea) purpose and function of simple machines;b) types of simple machines;c) compound machines; andd) examples of simple and compound machines found in the school, home, and workenvironments.What essential questions will be considered?Interpretation: What do compound machines reveal about human creativity?Perspective: What are the limits to simple machines?What understandings are desired? Students will understand that Interpretation: What do compound machines reveal about human creativity?If children can answer this question, they understand that creativity and invention iswhat makes technological advancement possiblePerspective: What are the limits to simple machines?When students answer this question they understand that there are no limits to simplemachines. Students understand that there is potential that has not yet been reached.What key knowledge and skills will students acquire as a result ofthis unit?Essential Skills:Essential Knowledge: Identify the six simple The six simple machines:machines. a simple machine is a basic mechanical device that Explain the applications ofmakes work easiereach simple machine. lever: a stiff bar that moves about a fixed point Identify simple machines in(fulcrum). It is a simple machine that is used to push,daily life.pull, or lift things. Examples include a seesaw, crowbar, Define each simple machine.and shovel. Explain the difference Screw: an inclined plane wrapped around a cylinder orbetween a simple andcone. A common use of the screw is to hold objectscompound machine.together. Examples include a jar lid and wood screw. Define a compound machine. Pulley: a wheel that has a rope wrapped around it. Recall examples ofPulleys can be used to lift heavy objects by changingcompound machines.
Identify what simplemachines are in use within acompound machine. Form an opinion on howcreativity is related todeveloping compoundmachines and justifyreasoning. (EQ1) Generate a list of tasks thatwould make the day moreproductive if there wastechnology that made thetask more efficient/completedthe task on its own. Generate a list of tasks thatwould make the day easierfor a person with a differentbackground. Justify the potential simplemachines still have today.(EQ2)the direction or amount of the force. Examples include aflagpole. Wheel and Axle: consists of a rod attached to a wheel.A wheel and axle makes it easier to move or turn things.Examples include bicycle wheels, roller skates, and adoorknob. Inclined Plane: a flat surface that is raised so one endis higher than the other. The inclined plane helps moveheavy objects up or down. An example is a ramp. Wedge: wide at one end and pointed at the other tohelp cut or split other objects. Examples include a knifeor ax. Compound machines: A compound machine is a combination of two or moresimple machines. Scissors: consist of two levers and two wedges. Thefulcrum of both levers is where they are joined together.The blades themselves are wedges, with a sharp cuttingedge and a thicker dull edge.” Wheelbarrow: used to carry heavy objects. It consistsof two simple machines: a lever and a wheel and axle.Effort is applied to the lever by picking up the handles ofthe wheelbarrow. The rolling wheel turns the axle andincreases the force, making it easier to push the load. Bicycle: The wheels and pedals each form a separatewheel and axle system. The brakes and brake handlesare levers, and the seat adjustment is a screw. Johannes Gutenberg invented the printing press in 1440 print became more accessible, the average joe now hadaccess to literature. Made of simple machines like levers and screws. Rube Goldberg went to school to be an engineer, and aftergraduating, he decided to become an artist. He drewcartoons of in

Simple Machines WebQuest What are Simple Machines? Instructions: Watch the YouTube video: "Simple Machines - English". Watch the video to learn about the six different types of simple machines. In your own words, define each of the simple machines below: Inclined Plane: Lever: Screw:
Simple machines make it easier to do work. They let you move an object with less force. People have used simple machines since long ago. We still use them today. All kinds of workers are glad to have simple machines. 113224_001-012_FSD.indd 123224_001-012_FSD.indd-D 12 111/23/05 2:37:17 PM1/23/05 2:37:17 PM Simple machines help people do work
