SPS8 Students will determine relationships among force, mass, and motion.
e. Calculate amounts of work and mechanical advantage using simple machines
prerequisite skills: identifying simple machines
Can also be used with:SSUSH16 The student will identify key developments in the aftermath of WWI
b. Identify Henry Ford, mass production and the automobile
ELA9RL1 The student demonstrates comprehension by identifying evidence in a variety of texts representative of different genres and using this evidence as the basis for interpretation.
a. Analyzes and applies knowledge of the characteristics of memoir, biography, and/or autobiography.
The Automobile: Machines Make Work Easier
• PowerPoint can be used as a PowerPoint book/presentation on the computer. Students can turn the pages with a mouse or switch input.
• It can also be printed out as a hard copy.• Print pages 4-30 for the text.• Pages 31-33 are additional graphics that can be used with the text –
more information is contained on these pages.• Page 34 gives additional standards and activities related to pages
35-39.• Pages 35-39 are graphic organizers that can be used as
assessment tools and/or practice activities related to simple machines in the automobile.
The Automobile: Machines Make Work Easier
Is in an automobile or a car?
Both. Car is another word used to mean automobile.
WORK
When scientists talk about work,they mean moving an object with
force.
Some work is easy.
Some work is harder.
Simple machines make work easier.
The 6 Simple Machines
WHEEL & AXLE
It takes more work to walk than ride a bike.
A bicycle is a machine that makes work easier.
It takes more work to ride a bicycle than ride a car.
A car is a machine that makes work easier.
A car is a complex machine that makes work easier.
An invention is a combination of simple machines.
A car is an invention that saves work.
The wheel and axle is a simple machine.
Cars have wheels and axles.
A car could not do much work without wheels.
The steering wheelis also a wheel and axle.
Gears are a special kind of wheel.
There are many gears in the engine of a car.
The inclined plane is a simple machine.
The windshield is an inclined plane.It keeps the wind and rain off the driver.
The lever is a simple machine.
The windshield wipers are levers.
The handle that makes the turn signals work is a lever.
The screw is a simple machine.
The are many screws in a car.
Screws hold the doors on.
Screws hold the engine in.
The engine has many pulleys.
Cars sometimes drive on an incline plane.
An inclined plane can help a car go up higher with less work.
Cars often use inclined planes.
Inclined planes make work easier.
A car is made up of many simple machines that help move objects with less work.
These graphics and those on the following pages can be used by students to answer questions or match to the book.
GPS STANDARDS/ELEMENTSSPS8 Students will determine relationships among force, mass, and motion. e. Calculate amounts of work and mechanical advantage using simple machines prerequisite skills: identifying simple machinesELA9W1f. Uses traditional structures for conveying information (i.e., chronological order, cause and effect, similarity and difference, posing and answering a question)Can be used with a unit on Henry Ford to include the following standardSSUSH16 The student will identify key developments in the aftermath of WWI
b. Identify Henry Ford, mass production and the automobile

Graphic OrganizersCreated by Juanita Pritchard, Cobb County Public Schools
Directions: For use after reading/viewing the PowerPoint: The Automobile: Machines Make Work Easier
• Use the simple graphic organizer (4 locations) with the first page of 6 graphics for students to indicate simple machines found in automobiles.
•Use the more complex graphic organizer (6 locations) with graphics to show increased complexity.
•Use second page of graphics with the first page so that not all the answers are correct – students must identify only the correct items, again showing increased complexity.
