Pulleys & Levers: A Simple Machines Design & Build Challenge

Years 5 - 6 · Technologies · Project · National · $3.99 AUD

A hands-on Design & Technologies project where students investigate, design, produce and evaluate a pulley-and-lever system that lifts a small load, following the full design process with a design brief, materials list, testing sheet and self-evaluation rubric.

Aligned to ACTDEK024, ACTDEP029, ACTDEP030 (National).

Students will:
• Investigate how a pulley or lever changes the force needed to move a load
• Design and build a working model using the design process
• Evaluate a design against clear success criteria

A classroom-ready project — download the print-ready PDF, or edit the Word (DOCX) and PowerPoint (PPTX) files.

Also covers: Design and Technology, STEM design challenges, simple machines (pulleys and levers).
