An animation which requires the student to make a great many decisions about simple machines. Lots of interaction. Students could work in groups to make the choices and compete for the best scores. Excellent introduction into simple machines.

This song provides a cute way to introduce students to simple machines. The inclined plane is the focus of this video. Push It Up! Push It Up the inclined plane. The Egyptians learned that it's easier to build a pyramid with a series of ramps. This is a good resource to use in conjunction with non-fiction texts on simple machines. (1:36)

Simple machines decrease the force, or effort, needed to lift and move heavy objects. There are several different kinds of simple machines, including levers, wheels and axels, pulleys, inclined planes, wedges, and screws. Learn more about simple machines with this slide show from StudyJams. Detailed images are set to music while information is written under each photo. A short, self-checking quiz is also included with this link.

How difficult can it be to water a plant? Pretty difficult when your objective is to build the most complicated machine possible to complete this simple task. In this video segment from ZOOM, Jillian demonstrates the use of ramps, wheels, pulleys, and other simple machines to construct her "plant quencher." Run time 01:16.

Imagine the most complicated process you could go through to simply pour a glass of milk. Then multiply that by 10. The image in your mind is probably approaching the level of complexity the ZOOM cast members achieved with their milk-pouring machine. Watch as they demonstrate all 34 steps in this video segment adapted from ZOOM. This would be a great addition to a lesson on transfer of energy or types of potential energy. There are several examples of gravitational energy as well as elastic energy (in the stretched balloons), chemical energy (in the battery, electrical connection, and vinegar/soda reaction), and wind energy (in the fans). You might have students shout out which type of energy is involved at the various points of the demonstration. Closed captioning included. (05:05)

Watch as several of Target's kitchen appliances get together to create a Rube Goldberg machine, resulting in the perfectly garnished hamburger. A Rube Goldberg machine is any device that is deliberately over-engineered or overdone to perform a very simple task. This is a also a great video to introduce simple machines, or chain reactions.
