4.0 out of 5 stars
A good resource for simple machines and tools.
This little book of investigations presents a variety of tools (e.g., hammer, screw) that we commonly encounter and illustrates how each is representative of a basic simple machine. The language is clear and easy to understand while applying physics concepts. I would most likely use it as a resource for teaching Applied Physical Science to students who might be...

This little book of investigations presents a variety of tools (e.g., hammer, screw) that we commonly encounter and illustrates how each is representative of a basic simple machine. The language is clear and easy to understand while applying physics concepts. I would most likely use it as a resource for teaching Applied Physical Science to students who might be difficlut to motovate to learn physics concepts. The appeal of learning about tools that are familiar may be a good motivational technique. If you're a pack-rat of teaching resources like me, you'll find useful information in this inexpensive resource.
