1 I can identify six types of simple machines.

2 Whiteboard activity

3 I. What is a simple machine?
Is a machine that does work with only one movement. Six simple machines : incline plane, lever, wheel/axle, screw, wedge, pulley 5.53 minutes What new information did you learn from the video?

4 A compound machine is a combination of 2 or more simple machines working together to accomplish a task. Such as a Can opener Can you think of other examples of compound machines?

5 II. INCLINED PLANE Flat, sloped surface
Helps with work-allow less force to move an object from one height to another. Example of inclined plan- ramp Longer the inclined plane-the smaller the force needed to move an object.

6 A. Using inclined plan - A. Using inclined plan -
Lifting an object uses more force than exerting force along a ramp over a greater distance. Force = work/distance Mechanical advantage of an inclined plane = length of inclined plane divided by its height

7 B. Wedge an inclined plane that moves and can have 1 or 2 sides.
Mechanical advantage increases as it gets longer and thinner. 1.24 minutes How does the wedge change the input force?

8 Think Pair Share How does an incline plane help to make work easier?
Name some everyday uses for incline planes your group.

9 Exit Slip What type of simple macine is the tip of the dart in the photo below?
