1. Rationale:Whyisthislessonrelevantatthistimewiththesestudents?
Why are you teaching this unit and how is it relevant to the students at this point in time?
Students should learn that with simple machines can create a hard task become easier. Students could
then learn to reduce the energy put in in order to create something quicker and with less energy. Also
simple machines and complex machines are used in our world today in the form of everyday devices
such as an axe, wagons, flag poles etc.)

and/orattitudesneededtomeettheoutcome?
I will start by explaining the lever. I will ask them to think about a sea saw. What does
it look like?
I will draw one on the board and explain this is a lever. I will explain where the Load
is, the Fulcrum is, and where the effort is. I will then explain where the fulcrum is
makes a difference in their name. First class, Second class or third class lever.
I will then take a pair of scissors and explain that this is also a lever and show where
the effort is, the fulcrum is, and where the load is.
I will then ask the class to come and sit at the back of the class. They must be behind
the tape I have placed on the floor. I will pull out the lever machine
I will then ask them some questions: What do you think will have on each lever?
Which one did you think will go the farthest? What is the difference of each lever?
I will then launch the tape ball and we will discuss our findings.

We will then go back to the class and fill out our ticket out the door, and they will fill
out a sheet of levers naming the effort, load and fulcrum.

I plan on asking my IEPs to be my assistants that way I can keep an eye on them and make sure that they
are involved in the experiment.
I have an ea in the room, I will make sure he moves about helping the IEPS and I can rotate as well.
