3.P.1
Understand motion and factors that affect motion.
3.P.1.1
Infer changes in speed or direction resulting from forces acting on an object.
3.P.1.2
Compare the relative speeds (faster or slower) of objects that travel the same distance in different amounts of time.
3.P.1.3
Explain the effects of earth’s gravity on the motion of any object on or near the earth.


4.P.1
Explain how various forces affect the motion of an object.
4.P.1.1
Explain how magnets interact with all things made of iron and with other magnets to produce motion without touching them.

    This is a series of experiments about simple machines: levers, wheels and inclined planes.
  9. More Simple Machines More Simple Machines
    Simple machines are "simple" because most have only one moving part. Some are so simple, they don't have any moving parts! When you put simple machines together, you get a complex machine, like a lawn mower, a car, even an electric nose hair trimmer! Remember, a machine is any device that makes work easier. In science, "work" means making something move.
  10. Museum of Science Museum of Science
    Simple Machines: These devices were all in common use for centuries before Leonardo's time. Each one makes work easier to do by providing some trade-off between the force applied and the distance over which the force is applied.
