GLE 0707.11.1 Identify six types of simple machines.

Machine – a tool that helps us do work Machines help us by: Changing the amount of force on an object. Changing the direction of the force. A simple machine is a machine with few or no moving parts

Force is a push or pull that changes the motion or shape of an object. Example: I push a bookshelf to move it.

Simple machines – have few or no moving parts Lever Inclined Plane Wedge Screw Wheel and Axel Pulley

Example: seesaw, crowbar, baseball bat, rake Lever –made of a board or bar set on top of a fulcrum. It is used to lift weight. Levers are used to apply a force to a load. There are three classes of levers, which are based on the placements of the fulcrum, the load, and the input force. Example: seesaw, crowbar, baseball bat, rake

First Class Lever- a first-class lever, the fulcrum is between the input force and the load . Common examples of first-class levers include crowbars, scissors, pliers, tin snips and seesaws.

Second Class Lever-The load of a second-class lever is between the fulcrum and the input force Examples of second-class levers include nut crackers, wheel barrows, doors, and bottle openers.

Third Class Lever-The input force in a third-class lever is between the fulcrum and the load. Examples of third-class levers include tweezers, arm hammers, and shovels.

Inclined Plan – a slanted surface to make lifting easier Example: ramp, stairs

Example: knife, door wedge, ax Wedge – two inclined planes together used to raise an object or split an object. Example: knife, door wedge, ax

Example: drill bit, screws Screw – an inclined plane wrapped around a pole or shaft that is used to hold materials together or drill holes. Example: drill bit, screws

Example: steering wheel, doorknob, screwdriver Wheel and Axel – a wheel that turns on a post to help move things quickly and easily Example: steering wheel, doorknob, screwdriver

Example : flagpole, clothesline, cranes, fishing reel Pulley – made of rope and string wound around a reel to change the direction of a force. Example : flagpole, clothesline, cranes, fishing reel

Compound Machine – two or more simple machines working together. Examples: Bike Car
