Manitoba Grade 5 Forces & Simple Machines Unit

Teach the force outcomes of Manitoba's renewed Grade 5 Science (SCI.5.E.5 to E.8) through ten inquiry lessons: pushes, pulls and twists, how forces change motion, friction, levers, ramps, wedges and screws, wheels, axles and pulleys, and why friction makes every machine less efficient, ending with a machine-system design challenge. The ZIP holds 76 editable PowerPoint slides with speaker notes, a 77-page student workbook, a 93-page accommodated edition with the same question numbers and answer key, a 37-page teacher guide with answer keys and a rubric on Manitoba's report-card scale, and a one-page START HERE guide. The sample shows Lesson 1's Manitoba wind-farm data and the Force Detectives investigation. Limits: it covers the force outcomes only and has no classroom interactive; spring scales vary, so keys for students' own measurements give typical results.
