Great for review time

My 3rd graders are preparing for end of year testing, and this was a terrific tool for the review. After whole class review, this was one of their designated computer activities during free time. The kids couldn't get enough of it.

Fun AND useful

Two of my students went through the different "rooms" and loved identifying simple machines in different household and garage items. Once done, they were excited to identify similar machines in the classroom and their own homes. The "compound machines" game adjunct is a great enrichment exercise for those who quickly catch on to simple machines.
