This resource is a collection of interactive animations designed to help kids learn how forces and simple machines can work together to create the compound machine. Child-centered animated activities enhance understanding of how compound machines function and how they are differentiated from simple machines. The animations require the Flash plug-in (there is a link for this on the page). Additionally the site includes a glossary of important terms, lesson plans, a teacher's guide and information from people who professionally work with compound machines. This page is part of a larger collection of animated education resources for the elementary level.
This resource is part of a Physics Front Topical Unit.
Topic: Dynamics: Forces and Motion
Unit Title: Applications of Newton's Laws This is a collection of interactive animations that depict how forces and simple machines work together to create the compound machine. The authors designed it for Grades 3-6 to help children understand how compound machines function and how they are different from simple machines. It would be a good follow-up to the resource directly above -- Edheads: Simple Machines. Links to Units:
