What your child practices

This 3rd to 5th grade science set (Grades 3 to 5 in Canada) explores Simple Machines through 6 worksheets and 59 questions. In grades 3 to 5, science asks children to explain why things happen, not only what happens, and Simple Machines is a great place to practice that kind of thinking. It opens with a guided Learn and Practice page, moves on to a practice sheet and a review test, then finishes with two quick quizzes and a mixed review. It is aligned to NGSS 3-PS2-1, which focuses on forces, motion and how objects interact. In Canada it matches the BC curriculum for Grade 5. Each PDF includes its own answer key on page 2, ready for you or your child to check. Short on time? Start with the Simple Machines video lesson, then print a sheet while it is fresh.

Tips for parents

  • Ask your child to explain the idea using a diagram or a quick sketch.
  • Look up one extra fact about Simple Machines together and add it to the sheet.
  • Keep a small science notebook for drawings and questions that come up.
