Forces, Motion, and Simple Machines
— Intermediate Level Multi-Group Kit
Specific concepts investigated relate to: forces that oppose motion, sliding and rolling
friction, the use of levers to multiply force and speed and change direction, simple periodic
motion; force couples involving “action and reaction,” the pulley as a modified level,
pulley systems, periodic motion of a pendulum; and centrifugal and centripetal forces, the
inclined plane, ideal and actual mechanical advantage, efficiency of machines, uniform
linear motion, velocity, and accelerated motion. Grades 4-9.

Simple Machines Lab Investigation
Investigate the principles behind work and machines. What is work? What are simple
machines? How are force, work, and distance related? Your class will answer these and
other questions as they apply their critical thinking skills to investigate man’s earliest
use of such machines as pulleys, wheel and axle mechanisms, and levers. They’ll also
study the specific principles behind these simple machines, as well as the mechanical
advantages and efficiencies offered by each. In the process, they will become familiar
with the connection between theory and the machines used in our everyday life.
Grades 6-12. Sh. wt. 2.27 kgs.

Lab-Aids ® Simple Machines Lab
Increase understanding of force and
motion while manipulating three different
types of simple machines — lever, inclined
plane, and pulley. Students measure the force required to lift
objects using these machines and calculate the work input
and output of the machines. Students also calculate mechanical
advantage and are introduced to friction, efficiency, and
the second law of thermodynamics. Includes two pulleys,
two ramp sections, ramp end support, mid-ramp support
and support riser, forcemeter, tripod, distance
marker, threaded hook-post, cylindrical metal
weight, 50 cm stick, pulley string, 15 cm
metric ruler, five student worksheet
and guides, and teacher’s guide.
For five students. Grades 6-8.
Sh. wt. 5 lbs.
SB48182M — $65.45
Forces and Simple Machines Kit
Contains a variety of custom-made and unique components, including Force Board,
Inclined Plane, and Vector Board. Also included is a complete set of accessories needed
for 15 different activities, including an 11-piece weight set, spring scales, pulleys, levers,
support base and rod, and much more! To assist the teacher, a comprehensive lab activities
manual (over 60 pages), and a CD containing a slide presentation of all experiments
that can be performed is also included. Grades 6-12. Sh. wt. 15.25 lbs.
SB43478M — $289.50
Simple Machines Made Simple
Present simple mechanics through hands-on cooperative
learning activities. Using inexpensive materials, students
build simple machines such as levers, pulleys, springs scales,
and gears. Activities feature easy-to-locate materials lists,
time requirements, and step-by-step directions on presentation.
150 pages. Grades 3-8. Sh. wt. 1.25 lbs.
