It's Simple!

We’ll explore the ups and downs of the workings of simple machines along with fun ways to use “the force” (gravity) that makes our lives so much easier! Hands-on, bodies-on stuff to provide basic concepts which support any physical science unit!

Main Concepts:

  • Levers
  • Screws
  • Wedges
  • Inclined Planes
  • Pulleys
  • Gravity
  • Friction

Students will learn to recognize that complex machines are made up of simple machines!

Program requirements:

  • One table and access to electricity
  • Open space for children to sit on the floor
  • Students who need a "science excitement" boost
  • Staff who will take that excitement and use it throughout the rest of the day

Note:

  • Because Highly Contagious Assemblies are so grade specific, they work best in grade specific groups (i.e. combine 1 and 2, 2 and 3, 4 and 5 grades).
  • Programs are 45 minutes in length, up to 4 programs at your school in one day.
  • Help me book another school in your district and receive a discount!
  • Apply to receive a grant from the Michigan Humanities Council (shhhhh, for some reason they've decided I'm an artist!)
