Kids use simple machines every day without realizing it. Teeth are wedges and so are knives, forks, and thumbtacks. Many toys such as slides, which are inclined planes, and seesaws, which are levers, are also simple machines. Two appealing kids and their comical cat introduce levers, wheels, pulleys, inclined planes, and more, and explain how they work. This lively introduction to physics will get kids excited about how simple machines simplify our lives.… (altro)

This book can be related to real life in a way that is applicable to students. It allows them to see how different simple machines work and how it can contribute to their everyday lives. It gives perspective to how the machines can be everyday use things. The book is mostly pictures and words describing the different machines which gives understanding to the students. They can see people using it in their everyday lives to allow them to understand it better. The book can be used with students to show how different simple machines work. They could do a scavenger hunt to find different simple machines in their everyday lives or build one themselves. It is a great way to be hands on to enhance their learning. ( )

Summary: This book unpacks many everyday things like an ax or scissors and talks about the engineering behind them. I found this book to be a really great resources and compatible with all reading levels.
Thoughts: I really liked this book because it was very simple but useful. I felt like young students would be fully able to understand the information in the books. I also like it because it introduces vocabulary words that are easy fo understand, and the illustrations match the story line.
Use/Strategy:
- Teach about specific vocabulary
- Engage in STEM conversations
- Explore different types of machines
-Compare and contrast different machines ( )

This book discusses the different types of simple machines that we encounter in our every day lives. It goes through commonly visited places and talks about what ramps, planes, pivots, shafts and pulleys are. The author talks about how we use machines every single day without even realizing it.

Possible science topics: Simple machines and how engineering is used in the every day life. ( )

Summary:
This book introduces basic types of machines such as wedges, axels, ramps etc. With each introduction, the author gives examples of wedges in everyday life to make the concepts relatable to young kids.

Review:
This book would be a great book to have in an introductory engineering lesson in mid to upper elementary classrooms. The author does a great job of presenting academic language in a way that is understandable and relatable to young students. Additionally, each machine type is paired with descriptive pictures that help further the meaning of the text. After reading this, students could work on a project where they looked for other examples of machines in their environment. To restate, this book would be an amazing book to pair with an introductory STEM or engineering lesson. ( )

Review: This book is great, its science but also talks about engineering. This book gave really good applicable examples. The kids would really connect to this book and it would help them understand what simple machines are. Especially because when students think of the word machine they think of tractors and things that are very obvious. When I think of this book It reminds me of technology and how most kids would just think technology is an iPhone or iPad but really it could be a hair clip or a pencil. I would use this book as a read aloud before a science engineering project. This book also has outstanding academic vocabulary.

Summary: This book talks about all different kinds of simple machines and it will give an example of a simple machine and then explain its purpose and why it considered a machine. It goes into detail by using arrows to label certain important forces in the book. It also has great vocabulary about certain tools that are used to make some real-life things like a slide that kids have at the playground. ( )
