Simple machines have made all of today's technical advances possible. This small timeline shows the four most important scientists who contributed to our understanding of simple machines.
A timeline is a concrete representation of history, giving a hands-on experience of the length of an event or process. Because each of our timelines has the same interval size (although the units may vary), they can easily be combined, compared or set within one another to create an overarching picture of history. This set includes…
Archimedes
Hero of Alexandria
Simon Stevin
Galileo Galilei
The control booklet allows for autonomous error correction, making the whole learning experience more authentic.
Balance scales were one of the first kinds of scales, simple due to their mechanical build. They employ levers to measure weight and are therefore an excellent example of levers' daily applications.
Nomenclature Cards entice the child to explore the parts of the concept, building their vocabulary and reading skills. Each part is presented within the whole, giving the complete picture and showing the part’s relevance within its context. This set includes …

Levers are only one of six simple machines that make our lives easier! With this resource, learn about the different parts of a lever.
Nomenclature Cards entice the child to explore the parts of concept, building their vocabulary and reading skills. Each part is presented within the whole, giving the complete picture and showing the part’s relevance within its context.
This set includes original artwork for:
- lever
- effort
- load
- pivot
- load arm

Discussion cards allow children to practice their classification, and ultimately decision-making, skills.
This particular resource contains four examples of the six types of simple machines:
levers
wedges
pulleys
wheels and axles
inclined planes
screws
The control booklet allows an independent control of error and provides extra information on each image.
This amazing bundle contains discussion cards to classify
things into living and non-living,
living organisms into animals and plants,
animals into vertebrates and invertebrates,
vertebrates into mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and fish,
mammals into carnivores, herbivores, insectivores and omnivores,
carnivorans into Feliforms and Caniforms.
They can be laid out in one big tree diagram and used at different levels of ability.
Maria Montessori saw the ability to categorise and classify information as the cornerstone of intelligence.
This high-quality resource allows children to independently, or through a discussion, classify Feliforms into Felidae (true cats), Herpestidae (mongooses), Hyaenidae (hyenas), and Viverridae (viverrids). The control booklet provides extra information on each concept and reinforces it through carefully selected text accompanying each classified thing.

When Egyptians prepared their famous mummies, the main organs were removed and stored in canopic jars. Each had their own god to guard the contents.
With these easy-to-use templates, have fun creating your very own canopic jars!
They're also suitable for storing non-organic matter, like hair clips.
These 3-Part Nomenclature Cards consist of 10 pictures, labels and text cards as well as one control booklet clearly showing the external parts of an Arabian camel:
camel, head, neck, eye, hump, legs, nostril, mane, tail, hooves
Print on cardstock, cut on black lines, fold on grey ones and laminate. If you want to include the cursive label (D'Nealian), just fold in the middle so it's back to back.
These cards can be used as flashcards or matching cards for more individually paced learning. For younger children, print two sets of the pictures and leave the labels attached on one - the children can then use those as control cards to match the loose labels. For early readers, match labels to pictures and use control booklet to check and discuss work. For older children, match labels and text to pictures.
