This is a song that my students and I made up as our review of Simple Machines- sung to the
tune of Row, Row, Row Your Boat
CHORUS:
Work, work, I love work
Making something move.
Simple Machines can help us work
Get into the groove.
1. Down, down, pulling down
works with gravity.
Pull down on the rope, the flag goes up
its called a PULLEY!
2. SCREWS, screws, screws help us
in getting our work done,
an inclined plane around a bar,
climbing them is fun.
3. A WEDGE is good to use,
holds open a door.
Makes an angle thats acute,
one side on the floor!
4. An AXLE turns a WHEEL,
sharpens pencils for me.
Bicycle, car, and train tires,
help us move quickly!
5. A LEVER is lots of fun,
just like a see- saw.
LEVERS can move up and down,
careful now, dont fall!
