Educational Game
Edheads - Simple and Compound Machines

I would use this game as a review for my Simple Machines unit. It is very easy to play and provides great explanations of what the simple machines are and what they do. There is also a game for compound machines, but I don't think it would be as useful.

Here's how to play: 1. Choose a location. 2. Scroll your mouse over the screen. Simple machines will highlight when you roll over them. 3. Click on a simple machine. 4. Answer the questions that the game asks. 5. Read and review the jobs of each machine when prompted to.

I would display this on my polyvision board and have the students take turns coming to the board to choose and answer the questions.
