Simple Machine:
A machine with few or no moving parts. Simple machines make work
easier.
Examples: Screw, Wheel and Axle, Wedge, Pulley, Inclined Plane,
Lever
Compound Machine:
Two or more simple machines working together to make work easier.
Examples: Wheelbarrow, Can Opener, Bicycle
Inclined plane:
A sloping surface, such as a ramp. Makes lifting heavy loads easier.
The trade-off is that an object must be moved a longer distance than
if it was lifted straight up, but less force is needed.
Examples: Staircase, Ramp
Lever:
A straight rod or board that pivots on a point known as a fulcrum.
Pushing down on one end of a lever results in the upward motion of
the opposite end of the fulcrum.
Examples: Door on Hinges, Seesaw, Hammer, Bottle Opener
Pulley:
A wheel that usually has a groove around the outside edge for a rope
or belt. Pulling down on the rope can lift an object attached to the
rope. Work is made easier because pulling down on the rope is made
easier due to gravity.
Examples: Flag Pole, Crane, Mini-Blinds
Screw:
An inclined plane wrapped around a shaft or cylinder. This inclined
plane allows the screw to move itself or to move an object or material
surrounding it when rotated.
Examples: Bolt, Spiral Staircase
Wedge:
Two inclined planes joined back to back. Wedges are used to split
things.
Examples: Axe, Knife
Wheel and Axle:
A larger wheel (or wheels) connected to a smaller axle. When the
axle is turned, the wheel moves a greater distance than the axle, but
less force is needed to move it. Example: Door Knob, Wagon, Toy
Car, screwdriver

Simple Machine:

A machine with few or no moving parts. Simple machines make work easier. Examples: Screw, Wheel and Axle, Wedge, Pulley, Inclined Plane, Lever

Compound Machine:

Two or more simple machines working together to make work easier. Examples: Wheelbarrow, Can Opener, Bicycle

Inclined plane: A sloping surface, such as a ramp. Makes lifting heavy loads easier. The trade-off is that an object must be moved a longer distance than if it was lifted straight up, but less force is needed. Examples: Staircase, Ramp

Lever: A straight rod or board that pivots on a point known as a fulcrum. Pushing down on one end of a lever results in the upward motion of the opposite end of the fulcrum. Examples: Door on Hinges, Seesaw, Hammer, Bottle Opener
