2. Simple Machines by: Christina Napolitano Yvette Sarmiento Eufemia N unez

3. What is a Simple Machine?  A simple machine has few or no moving parts.  Simple machines make work easier by changing the amount or the direction of the force used to do work.

4. There are six types of simple machines.  wheel and axle  pulley  incline plane  wedges  screw  lever

5. Wheel and Axle  a wheel that turns on a post to help move things quickly and easily  Gears are a form of wheels and axles  Examples: doorknob, steering wheel, and a screwdriver

6. Pulley  made of rope and string wound around a reel to change the direction of a force.  A pulley needs a rope, chain or belt around the groove to make it do work  Examples: crane, fishing pole, clothes line, and a flagpole

7. Inclined Plane  An inclined plane is a flat surface that is higher on one end  Inclined planes make the work of moving things easier  Examples: ramp, and stairs

8. Wedge  two inclined planes together used to raise an object or split an object.  Wedges are used to split things.  Examples: knife, and an ax

9. Screws  an inclined plane wrapped around a pole or shaft that is used to hold materials together or drill holes  The inclined plane allows the screw to move itself when rotated.  Examples: drill bit, and screws

10. Lever  made of a board or bar set on top of a fulcrum.  it is used to lift weight  Examples: seesaw, crowbar, baseball bat, and a rake

11. Two simple machines, make a compound Machine  two or more simple machines working together  Examples: bike and a car

12. Lesson: Students will have to make a kid inspiration chart then exchange with a partner for assessment.

13. Lesson: Students will have to make a bar graph of how many of each simple machine they found in their group. Pulley6 Wheel and Axel4 Inclined Plane7 Lever2 Wedge1 Screw10
