Scientific Research: Researching Simple Machines: How They Help do Work
Description
In Unit 2 students read the extended science text Simple Machines: Forces in Action by Buffy Silverman (870L) to learn about simple machines while also examining the structure and text features of scientific writing. Several sections of this science text are structured as close-reading experiences, and students continue to learn to use context clues to determine the meaning of new words. They write routinely in order to explain how various simple machines work.
