Activity One: Getting Some Leverage on Simple Machines WD Simple Machines Activity One: Getting Some Leverage on Simple Machines

Essential Questions What is a lever used for? WD What is a lever used for? What are the parts of a lever system? How can I maximize the effectiveness of a lever system?

Vocabulary WD Resistance Force (load): is the force which an effort force must overcome in order to do work on an object Effort Force: the force used to move an object over a distance Effort Distance: the distance from the effort (on a lever) to the fulcrum

Vocabulary Cont. WD Lever: a simple machine that makes work easier for use; it involves moving a load around a pivot using a force Fulcrum: the support about which a lever turns

Goals Identify the effort force, the fulcrum, and the resistance force in a simple lever system. Recognize that the placement of the effort force , the fulcrum, and the resistance force will affect the effectiveness of the lever system. Be introduced to the effort force and the effort distance relationship.

Main Ideas WD Simple machines are common tools that are used to accomplish tasks A lever is a simple machine that is comprised of a fulcrum , an effort force, and a resistance force that must be overcome.

Main Ideas Cont. WD The arrangement of the effort force, the resistance force, and the fulcrum affects the effectiveness of the lever system and its ability to accomplish a task. The resistance force is sometimes referred to as the load force or simply the “load”. This is always a force and never an object.
