Program Sheet

OBJECTIVES:

[CCSD STANDARDS]

(5.3) TSW investigate & describe the physical principles that are used in the design and function of simple machines

(5.4) TSW relate that compound machines are combinations of simple machines

(5.5) TSW construct a compound machine using common materials

(5.6) TSW utilize various simple machines to demonstrate mechanical advantage

[NEVADA SCIENCE STANDARDS]

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS: Complete one “layer” before going on to another layer.  Assignments must be shown to your teacher, where she will sign it off and award points.  No more than 3 assignments will be signed off by your teacher on any one day in any layer.  Each assignment has a point value based on the amount of time and effort necessary to complete that task.  You must earn the required number of points in any one layer before moving to the next layer. Teacher’s signature is REQUIRED before moving on to the next layer.

For book assignments must be prepared to discuss and answer questions about each of your assignments.  You will be awards points by your teacher based upon your ability to discuss and answer questions about your work.  When appropriate, you may work with a partner or partners, but you must be able to answer the teacher’s questions without any assistance.
