Free Year 5 Science practice — reason about levers, pulleys, gears and ideal calculations. No account needed.
Explain how levers, pulleys and gears affect force or motion and apply stated ideal calculations. Correct answers can trigger celebrations. Feedback and retry options depend on the game.
Learning objective: Use labelled or stated ideal models to reason about levers, pulleys and gears.
Curriculum anchor: England Year 5 Science: recognise that mechanisms including levers, pulleys and gears allow a smaller force to have a greater effect.
This game is designed as short independent practice after an idea has been introduced. It does not replace direct teaching, mathematical or scientific discussion, or an adult checking whether the learner can explain the idea away from the screen.
Use safe tabletop models and distinguish an ideal calculation from a real mechanism affected by friction and apparatus weight. Take a break when you need one.
Does it need an account? No. The game runs in the browser and asks for no name, email address, school or location.
Is it timed? Timing varies by activity. Check the available modes and instructions before starting.
Can it be used on a phone? Controls vary by game. Use the on-screen buttons or read the instructions for keyboard and drag actions.
