Work & Simple Machines Challenge
Fun, fast-paced
games help
students explore
the facts about
simple machines
and how they
apply to our
everyday lives.
These games
use the “Round-
Robin — I have,
Who has” style
and are a race
against the clock,
as the entire
class works
together to learn
how simple machines make our lives easier. Two separate
games allow teachers to change the material being
covered and keep students engaged while playing multiple
times. Deck 1 features core content definitions and
examples. Deck 2 features more challenging facts and
examples for when students are mastering the concepts.
Includes two decks of 30 cards, instructions, and an easyto-follow
answer key. Grades 5-10. Sh. wt. 0.63 lbs.
