5. GLE 0707.11.1 Identify six types of simple machines.

6. 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

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

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

9. 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

10. 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.

11. 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.

12. 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.

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

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

15. 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

16. 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

17. 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

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