Introduction
Simple machines are machines with few or no moving parts. There are 7 main Simple Machines.
We will be learning about the seven simple machines. They are: 1. Lever 2. Inclined Plane 3. Wedge 4. Screw 5. Wheel and Axle 6. Pulley 7. Gears
1. What is a Lever?
A hammer is a lever that helps do work. Work is done whenever force makes an object move.

By moving the fulcrum, the dynamics of the lever change. Here is how:

By moving the fulcrum, the dynamics of the lever change. Here is how:
force fulcrum
weight
Requires more force to move the weight but less distance

Now, move the fulcrum clear to the right and notice the difference. force fulcrum weight

By moving the fulcrum, the dynamics of the lever change. Here is how:
Now, move the fulcrum clear to the right and notice the difference. force fulcrum weight Now you have just the opposite, less force to move the weight but more distance.

By moving the fulcrum, the dynamics of the lever change. Here is how:
Now, move the fulcrum clear to the right and notice the difference. force fulcrum weight Now you have just the opposite, less force to move the weight but more distance. The weight does not move very much.
Can you guess what would be the dynamics if the fulcrum was directly in the middle?
Can you guess what would be the dynamics if the fulcrum was directly in the middle?
Just a change in direction
How would changing the position of the weight change the dynamics of this lever?
How would changing the position of the force change the dynamics of this lever?
3. What is a Wedge?
A doorstop is a wedge. A wedge is a simple machine used to push objects apart. An ax is a wedge that splits wood. A wedge could be considered a two sided incline plane.
4. What is a Screw?
A screw is a simple machine used to hold objects together. Think about your desk. Does it have screws helping to hold it together? A screw is an incline plane twisted on itself.
6. What is a Pulley?
A pulley is a simple machine with a wheel and with a rope. The rope fits around the edge of the wheel. You can use a pulley to move a load up, down or sideways.

This is called a block and tackle. You will use less force to lift the weight but will have to pull more rope.

7. What is a Gear?
Two toothed wheels fit together either directly or through a chain or belt. Some gears may have a screw or a toothed shaft in place of one of the wheels. A gear may also be a combination of toothed wheels that produces a certain speed like in a bicycle.
