Title – Song about Simple Machines

By – Lisa Keeter

Primary Subject – Science

Secondary Subjects – Music

Grade Level – 3rd grade

This is a song that my students and I made up as our review of Simple Machines- sung to the tune of “Row, Row, Row Your Boat”

CHORUS:

Work, work, I love work…

Making something move.

Simple Machines can help us work…

Get into the groove.

1. Down, down, pulling down…

works with gravity.

Pull down on the rope, the flag goes up…

it’s called a PULLEY!

2. SCREWS, screws, screws help us

in getting our work done,

an inclined plane around a bar,

climbing them is fun.

3. A WEDGE is good to use,

holds open a door.

Makes an angle that’s acute,

one side on the floor!

4. An AXLE turns a WHEEL,

sharpens pencils for me.

Bicycle, car, and train tires,

help us move quickly!

5. A LEVER is lots of fun,

just like a see- saw.

LEVERS can move up and down,

careful now, don’t fall!
