Simple Machines

http://aspire.cosmic-ray.org/javalabs/java12/machine/index.htm

Did I give you this one before? This is a site that lets you change the parameters as you test some simple machines. There are lesson plans as well as interactive labs where your students can change the variables and observe how simple machines make work easier.

I teach 6th grade science and the first unit in the curriculum is simple and complex machines. I am always looking for ways to make this unit more interesting for my students. This site has some wonderful, interactive ideas.
