What are Simple Machines?""
Simple machines are tools that make our lives easier. These tools enable us to use less energy and less force to do work."""
Here are some examples of a Lever that I found in the classroom. Can you think of some other examples of a lever in your home or in the school building?
STAPLER
3 HOLE PUNCH
SCISSORS
Inclined Plane"""The Incline Plane is made up of a straight plane that is tilted up. Heavy objects can be moved from lower levels to higher levels.""""
These screws help hold these objects together. Can you think what else screws hold together?
DOOR HINGE
SWING HINGES
Pulley A Pulley is a made up from a wheel that is wrapped with a cord or rope. A pulley changes the direction of force and makes it easy to hoist or lift objects.
HERE ARE SOME PULLEYS THAT I FOUND AT SCHOOL. WHAT OTHER PULLEYS CAN YOU THINK OF?
LAPTOP EXTENSION CORD FLAG POLE
Wheel & Axle A Wheel & Axle is a simple machine made of a wheel that turns on a cylinder or post, to help objects move quickly.
