Simple Machines


                      A simple machine is a tool that allows us to do work
                      more easily and quickly. There are various types of
                      simple machines around us. Each machine has its own
                      specific use. Observe and identify the simple machines
                      in the situations below.










                                       Screws are used to put                        A pulley mounted on a
                                       together and tighten a piece of               lookout tower is used to lift
                                       signage to a wooden pole.                     a load easily to the top of
                                                                                     the tower.

                     A plank is tilted to form an
                     inclined plane to make the task
                     of moving loads to different levels
                     and height with ease.



                                                                                Gears mounted on a bicycle
                                                                                are useful for moving the
                                                                                bicycle’s wheels at different
                                                                                speed.



                                               The wheel and axle on a
                                               bicycle pedal moves the
                                               gears that rotate the bicycle’s
                                               wheels.
