Simple machines do not make less work; they just make it easier to do work.

It would be hard to cut this wood without the saw!

There are 6 different types of simple machines:

There are 6 different types of simple machines:

(1). LEVER

(2). SCREW

(3). PULLEY

(4). WHEEL & AXLE

(5). INCLINED PLANE

(6). WEDGE

(1) LEVER

A lever is a stiff bar that moves about a fixed point (fulcrum).

A lever is used to push, pull, or lift things.

Page 6: Simple machines 2

Shovel is an example of a lever.

Page 7: Simple machines 2

A screw is an inclined plane wrapped around a cylinder or cone.

(2) SCREW

A common use of the screw is to hold objects together.

Page 8: Simple machines 2

A bottle lid and a wood screw are examples of a screw.

So far we have learned about 2 types of simple machines: levers & screws….

(3) PULLEY(3) PULLEY

A pulley is a wheel that has a rope wrapped around it.

A pulleyA pulley can be used to lift heave can be used to lift heave objects by changing the direction objects by changing the direction or amount of the force.or amount of the force.

A flagpole uses a pulley to raise the flag.

Now we have learned about 3 types of simple machines: levers, screws, and pulleys…..

A wheel & axle consists of a rod attached to a

wheel.

(4) WHEEL & AXLE

A wheel & axle makes it easier to move or turn things.

Page 12: Simple machines 2

A bicycle wheel, roller skates, and a doorknob are all examples of a wheel &

axle.

We now know about 4 types of simple machines: levers, screws, pulleys, and wheels

& axles.

5) INCLINED PLANE

An inclined plane is a flat surface that is raised so that one end is higher than the

other.

An inclined plane helps move heavy objects up or down.

A RAMP IS AN A RAMP IS AN EXAMPLE OF INCLINED EXAMPLE OF INCLINED

PLANE.PLANE.

Let’s add inclined plane to our list of simple machines (along with levers, screws,

pulleys, and wheels & axles).

(6) WEDGE

A wedge is wide at one end and pointed at the other to help cut or split other objects.

Now we have learnt about 6 types of simple machines :-

LEVER

(2) SCREW

(3) PULLEY

(4) WHEEL & AXLE

(5) INCLINED

PLANE

(6) WEDGE
