Pull, Lift, and Lower: A Book About Pulleys (Amazing Science: Simple Machines)

1 of an excellent bunch of science related books for toddlers. very easy for them to understand and they enjoy having the books read.

I love this book and the others in the set! I teach 2nd Grade Science and used this set while teaching simple machines. The books are easy to understand, list many examples of the simple machine being discussed, and are colorful and inviting. The fact that it lists every day items that children are familiar with really helps them to better understand the simple machine it is describing. The end of each book includes an activity to explain how the simple machine is used, fun facts about that simple machine, and a glossary. Each book also includes a list of related books and web sites to continue the study and increase the curiosity of the simple machine being discussed. I highly recommend them all!

I bought this book to go with the KNex set on pulleys and levers. It's very short, flat, and dull coloured. Lame is my word for it. However, my son LOVED it. Go figure. But for his enthusiasm, I'd give it only 1 or 2 stars. He didn't love it, say like the Diary books, or Bad Kitty... but when I suggested giving away or donating it to the library, he had a bit of a hissy fit. We're keeping it and since it fits on the bookshelf, (it's REALLY thin) all is well.

This book has great pictures to help children understand simple machines.

This was a great book for a STEM lesson I did with my students.

Wonderful book for my 5 year old grandson. He loves it and has made a couple of pullies using the ideas in this little book.

My 1st graders loved this book series. WE loved the STEM concepts so much that we actually brought the whole series.

I bought this book along with two others to create a differentiated instruction science unit on simple machines. What one book did not cover, another one did. Also, the three books were on different instructional levels, allowing for every student's comprehension.

good explanation and experiment in back holds interest of chidren
