Here's a glance at what we've been doing in fourth grade to learn about simple machines. 
Making a water wheel as an example of a wheel and axle.
Balloon Powered Cars to understand the 3rd law of motion. This has been my all time favorite activity to do. It was so much fun to see the variety in cars and yes they did work. The one that went to farthest went over 25 feet.
This student invented a creative way to keep the ballon onto the car; others used tape.
Hot Wheels Lab to study motion, distance, and inclined planes.
A funny activity to watch that has to do with force, motion, gravity, ping pong balls, and straws.
