Description
Teach your science students all about work, power, and simple machines with this digital reading passage and learning activities set! Everything your students need to integrate work, power, and simple machines into their science knowledge is included so that your students can work independently or in small groups. You get the flexibility to do what works for your students because you know them best.

These digital learning activities are designed based on the latest brain science research to help every student in your class build strong neural networks all about work, power, and simple machines so that they can apply this knowledge later because we want students to both understand and remember what they learn.
First, students start by trying to define vocabulary words and answer questions all about work, power, and simple machines on the preview page. Getting the right answer isnโt important because simply trying to answer the questions will activate the studentsโ related neural networks and prepare them to create new neural connections. They will automatically connect what they already know to what they will learn.
Next, students read all about work, power, and simple machines. Also, activity pages interspersed among the information pages give students the opportunity to consolidate their new memories so that they can build stronger neural connections on work, power, and simple machines.
Finally, after learning all about work, power, and simple machines, students practice remembering what they learned using quizzes and flashcards. You get both a printable quiz and a Google Forms quiz to give your students options in how they review the material because students do better when they have choices.
Video links support students who need support building background knowledge and work as an extension for early finishers.
