With this Year 5 How do Mechanisms Make Life Easier? Investigation Lesson, children have the opportunity learn all about simple machines. The slides provide information about levers, pulleys and gears, asking children to find examples in everyday life. There is the opportunity to investigate an area of interest, with an example focused on the impact of a lever's length, and chances to record predictions, findings and conclusions, plus follow-up questions and assessments. The PowerPoint regularly links back to real-life learning to make this lesson engaging and relevant.
