The Simple Machines book is designed for grades 1, 2, and 3. It represents the "rewrite" of a former set of Learning Labs on simple machines, with the addition of several new components.

All six simple machines are explored at different levels of difficulty, suitable for grades 1, 2, and 3.  The book contains the material for each of grades 1, 2, or 3, but at different levels of difficulty.

Each chapter contains background science information for the educator, including questions to pose to the students.
