Worksheet 1 on pg 10 is the easier one and worksheet 2 on pg 11 is a little more challenging. Perhaps you’d like

to do worksheet 1 and then have a go at the second one.

Science

A mechanism is a device that changes an input force or motion into a different output force or motion.

Some mechanisms make work easier to do by allowing a smaller force to have a greater effect.

There are different types of simple machines:

Ramps

Levers

Pulleys

Wheels and axles (and gears)

Task 1: Do these objects use levers, pulleys or gears?

In a watch, the gears turn to move the hands around the clock face. You may like to investigate a little further and find out for yourself how gears work. Ask an adult to help you re-search this.

Science

Task 2: It’s your turn to become an inventor! Your task is to design a machine that will achieve a given aim. Make sure your machine uses lots of mechanisms including levers, pul-leys and even gears if you feel like a challenge! Before you start planning, click on the image below for some inspiration. There are some ide-as in the box below but you are welcome to come up with your own aim. Use the sheet on pg 9 to plan and design your invention.

Your machine could:

Water a plant

Make a drink

Collect mail from the letterbox

Pack a bag

Turn a light on or off Steps in your planning process:

1. Think of an idea– what is the aim of your machine? What aim will it achieve?

2. Design and draw your machine.
