4. GLE
GLE Identify six types of simple machines.

5. What is a machine?
A machine is a device that makes work easier by changing the size or direction of a force
A simple machine is a machine with few or no moving parts

6. The 6 Simple Machines Screw Wedge Inclined Plane Pulley Wheel and Axle
Lever

7. Inclined Planes
An inclined plane is a simple machine that is a straight, slanted surface.
Inclined planes make the work of moving things easier.
A sloping surface, such as a ramp. An inclined plane can be used to alter the effort and distance involved in doing work, such as lifting loads. The trade-off is that an object must be moved a longer distance than if it was lifted straight up, but less force is needed. You can use this machine to move an object to a lower or higher place.  Inclined planes make the work of moving things easier.  You would need less energy and force to move objects with an inclined plane. 

8. Screw- is an inclined plane that is wrapped in a spiral around a cylinder
The mechanical advantage of an screw can be calculated by dividing the circumference by the pitch of the screw.
Pitch equals 1/ number of turns per inch.

9. Wedges
Two inclined planes joined back to back. Used to cut or split and object.
Wedges are used to split things.

10. Lever
A lever is a simple machine that has a rigid bar that pivots at a fixed point, called a fulcrum.
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.

11. 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.

12. 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.

13. 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.

14. Pulleys
A pulley is a simple machine that has a grooved wheel that holds a rope or a cable.
A pulley needs a rope, chain or belt around the groove to make it do work. Examples, Blind cords

15. WHEEL AND AXEL
a simple machine consisting of two circular objects of different sizes. The axle is attached to a large wheel. Fan blades are attached to the wheel. When the axel turns, the fan blades spin.
