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.
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
- effort arm
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.

What Are Classified Cards?
Montessori 3-Part Cards usually consist of three pieces:
• a control with the picture and its name
• a picture without the name
• a label without the picture
Ours come with an extra text card for readers and a control booklet so the work is self-correcting and independent! You can choose to include the optional cursive label (D’Nealian font) or just use the print version.
3-Part Cards are used to explore a variety of topics that are otherwise inaccessible in a normal classroom or home, bridging space and time. They can be matched to real objects or each other, used as a kind of flashcard in a 3-Period Lesson, adapted for memory games and serve as reading practice.
Explore eneryg forms with clear pictures and simple text. Our cards develop order, reading and visual discrimination. They build vocabulary and help with classification and categorisation. Not only that, they make learning fun and easy!
This digital download features the sources of energy. Ideal for Montessori’s First Great Lesson or as an extension to your physics units.

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.
