Wheels, Axles, and Inclined Planes
Students will explore the function of wheels, axles, and inclined planes as simple machines.
Key Questions
- Analyze how an inclined plane reduces the force needed to move an object vertically.
- Differentiate the function of a wheel and axle from a lever.
- Design a ramp system to move an object to a higher elevation efficiently.

Planning templates for Science
5E Model
The 5E Model structures lessons through five phases (Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate), guiding students from curiosity to deep understanding through inquiry-based learning.
unit plannerThematic Unit
Organize a multi-week unit around a central theme or essential question that cuts across topics, texts, and disciplines, helping students see connections and build deeper understanding.
rubricSingle-Point Rubric
Build a single-point rubric that defines only the "meets standard" level, leaving space for teachers to document what exceeded and what fell short. Simple to create, easy for students to understand.
More in Forces and Simple Machines
Introduction to Forces
Students will identify different types of forces (push, pull, gravity, friction) and their effects on objects.
3 methodologies
Measuring Force and Motion
Students will use tools to measure force and observe how forces cause changes in motion.
3 methodologies
Levers: Magnifying Force
Students will experiment with levers to understand how they can reduce the effort needed to move an object.
3 methodologies
Pulleys: Changing Direction and Force
Students will investigate how single and multiple pulley systems can change the direction of force and reduce effort.
3 methodologies
Screws and Wedges
Students will investigate how screws and wedges function as simple machines to apply force or hold objects together.
