    Teacher’s Notes unit 7

    Machines
    Materials: CD 2; Unit 7 poster; small pieces of paper, a bag or hat
    Preparation: Prepare one small piece of paper for each pupil.

    1 Poster activity
    •• Focus the pupils on the poster. Ask them to identify the machines. Ask How can we classify machines?
    (We can classify machines as simple or complex.) What’s the difference between simple and complex
    machines? (Simple machines have few or no moving parts. Complex machines are made up of a number of
    simple machines working together.) Why do we use machines? (We use machines to make work easier.)
    •• Ask the pupils to identify simple and complex machines in the classroom.

    2 CD2

    32
    Say the Simple machines chant
    •• Ask the pupils if they remember the Simple machines chant. Play CD 2 (track 32) and encourage them to
    chant along with the CD.
    •• Have the pupils list on the board the simple machines mentioned in the chant and then have volunteers
    come out and draw a basic picture of each one.
    •• Ask Can you give me examples of some simple machines that we use in our lives?

    3 Complex machines game


    •• Give each pupil a small piece of paper. Ask them to write the name of a complex machine on their piece
    of paper. Collect the papers and put them in a bag/hat. Have each pupil come out to the front and take a
    paper from the bag/hat. Each pupil must then talk about the complex machine on their piece of paper in
    order for the others to guess it, for example, This complex machine has a pulley. It is very big. We use it to help
    build tall buildings. (It’s a crane.)

    4 Bicycle review
    •• Ask Have you got a bicycle? Is a bicycle a simple or a complex machine? (It’s a complex machine.)
    •• Ask a volunteer to come and draw a bicycle on the board and then have volunteers come and label it.
    •• Ask What simple machines make up a bicycle? (The handlebars are levers. The pedals are levers. The gears
    are pulleys.)

    5 Do the test
    •• Explain what the pupils must do in each activity and make sure they all have the necessary materials.
    Allow pupils time to do the test individually and monitor carefully, helping any individuals who are having
    difficulty.
