A Bike is a Compound Machine. • Screws are used to hold the pieces together. • The wheel of a bicycle is a wheel and axle. • The pedals are also examples of this simple machine. • The pedals are attached to a lever that turns a pulley. • The gear shifts and brake handles are levers.
Identify the Simple Machine A simple machine that lessens the force needed to attach two or more things. SCREW A simple machine with a slanting surface that is used to make lifting easier. INCLINED PLANE A moveable inclined plane used to make splitting or separating an object easier. WEDGE
Identify the Simple Machine A simple machine that has a bar that turns around a fulcrum, making lifting and moving easier. LEVER A rope or a chain wrapped around a wheel and axle used to make lifting easier. PULLEY A simple machine that has a wheel that turns around an axle used to make work easier. WHEEL & AXLE
