Simple Machines
We have begun our study of the six simple machines. Simple machines are single mechanical devices that help people work faster, easier, and more efficiently. They also help accomplish tasks like moving large heavy objects such as pianos or rolling objects uphill. The six kinds of simple machines are: pulley, screw, inclined plane, wheel and axle, edge, and lever.
