A Grade 4 science slideshow on how gears and pulleys help things move, covering motion, force and machines. Students consider how gears turn and how pulleys lift, and finish with a label, predict and design activity.
Make gears and pulleys exciting and easy to understand with this engaging Kite & Bloom science resource! Students explore how gears and pulleys work, how they change motion, speed, force, and direction, where we see them in everyday life, and how these simple machines make work easier through Think-Pair-Share prompts, prediction activities, real-world examples, and a final design activity.
Designed to lead your lessons or supplement your daily science routine, it’s perfect for whole-class instruction, centres, review, and introducing an Ontario Pulleys & Gears unit.
