Knowledge
* Demonstrate an
understanding of
Rarely Sometimes Usually Consistently
movement and ways in
which simple machines
help to move objects
Inquiry/Thinking
* Uses scientific
investigation to problem Rarely uses Sometimes Usually uses Consistently
solve (e.g. investigate the the skills uses the skills the skills uses the skills
structure and function of
simple machines)
Communication
* Uses science terms All or almost
Few Some Several
(simple machines, wheel, all
pulley, etc.)
Application
* Shows an ability to assess
the impact on the Rarely Sometimes Usually Consistently
environment of simple
machines.

Next Steps:
* use of class time * use science words * attention to detail
*follow safety guidelines
