  11. Machine YOURS: TEXTBOOK: A machine is a device that makes work easier by changing the size or direction of a force. Examples: wheelchair, scissors, chopsticks

  12. Simple Machines YOURS: TEXTBOOK: A machine or simple device without moving parts. Examples: lever, pulley, wheel & axle, inclined plane, wedge, screw

  13. Work YOURS: TEXTBOOK: Work is the transfer of energy to an object by using a force that causes the object to move in the direction of the force. Work is done on an object if two things happen: 1) the object moves as a force is applied, 2) the direction of the object’s motion is the same as the direction of the force. Examples: pushing a ball up a hill

  14. Work or Not Work? OR OR YES NO YES NO

  15. Force YOURS: TEXTBOOK: A push or a pull exerted on an object in order to change the motion of the object; force has size and direction. Examples: people, bulldozer, static electricity

  16. Work Input/Work Output YOURS: TEXTBOOK: Work input is the work done on the machine. Work out put is the work done by the machine. Examples: opening a paint can

  17. Compound Machine YOURS: TEXTBOOK: A machine made up of more than one simple machine. Examples: manual can opener

  20. Lever YOURS: TEXTBOOK: A lever is a simple machine that has a bar that pivots at a fixed point, called a fulcrum. Examples: first-class lever (see saw), second-class lever (wheelbarrow or soda bottle opener), third-class lever (lifting weights or hammering a nail)

  21. Three Classes of Levers

  22. The Six Simple Machines

  23. Pulley YOURS: TEXTBOOK: A simple machine that has a grooved wheel that holds a rope or a cable. Examples: fixed, moveable, block and tackle

  24. Types of Pulleys:

  26. Wheel & Axle YOURS: TEXTBOOK: A simple machine consisting of two circular objects of different sizes. Examples: car’s wheel & axle, faucet

  27. The Six Simple Machines

  28. The Six Simple Machines

  29. Wedge YOURS: TEXTBOOK: A simple machine that is made up of two inclined planes that move; often used for cutting. Examples: knife, axe, door stop

  30. The Six Simple Machines

  31. Screw YOURS: TEXTBOOK: A simple machine that consists of an inclined plane wrapped around a cylinder. Examples: screw, light bulb

  32. 1. What would be easier, a steep inclined plane or a shallow inclined plane?

  33. 2. What would be easier, a wide wedge or a skinny wedge?

  34. 3. What would be easier, a long, skinny screw or a short, fat screw?

  35. 4. What would be easier, the fulcrum in the middle or the fulcrum to one side of the lever?

  36. 5. What would be easier, a short axle or a long axle?

  37. 6. What would be easier, a wide rope or a skinny rope?
