Types of Simple Machines
This machine uses an object that pivots around a fixed object, called a fulcrum.
What is a lever?
Many simple machines working together.
What is a large system?
Provide the definition of a simple machine.
A simple machine is a machine in which changes the direction or magnitude of a force.
The simple machine used in a seesaw.
What is a lever?
This simple machine uses a wheel with a groove that uses a rope or cable to change the direction of force, making it easier to lift heavy workloads.
What is a pulley
All six simple machines.
What are Pulley, Inclined Plane, Screw, Wheel & Axle, Wedge, and Lever
Name at least 1 reason on why simple machines are important.
What is they are the building blocks of more complicated builds?
OR
What is they reduce workloads?
Simple machines make work easier by _____
What is reducing the amount of force?
This machine uses a flat surface at an angle, such as a ramp that reduces the force needed to move an object up.
What is an inclined plane?
Main simple machine working in an Elevator.
What is a Pulley
The simple machine used in a bottle cap.
What is a screw?
This is a triangular object that can split an object by applying the force to its thick end. One kind of wedge is an ax or a knife.
What is a wedge?
Simple machines working together in a car.
What are, Wheel & Axle, Lever, Inclined Plane, Wedge, Screws, Pulleys. (Trick question)
These objects are:
An inclined plane wrapped around a cylinder, it can be used to bind objects together or lift heavy objects.
A wheel attached to a smaller cylinder that rotates together, allowing seamless movement and less friction.
What is a screw, wheel and axle
The simple machines working together in a bicycle. (Describe them all!)
What are Wheel & Axle, (bike wheels) Lever, (break handles and handlebars) Pulleys, (Chain & Gears) Screws, (hold the bike together)
