Simple Machines for Kids teaches all about the main 6 simple machines in a fun and interactive way. We will learn about the different simple machines, which are; Incline Plane, Lever, Wedge, Screw, Wheel and Axle, and the Pulley. Almost any machine is created with one of these elements.
The inclined plane can be found in many places. It is triangular shaped with a smooth and even surface and helps move objects to higher or lower places.
The lever is a beam with a ridge that freely rotates or moves on a pivot. It helps you move heavy objects with ease.
The wedge is often attached to a handle. Used for cutting, splitting, tightening, to hold back or together, or for scraping.
Screws are cylinders with a solid top at one end, and a pointed
tip at the other end. Used to hold things together as they pull or push the object.
The large disc is the wheel and the small cylinder is the axle. The wheel is one of the greatest inventions in human history, but would not work without the axle.
A wheel with a groove in it, and a rope in the groove is called a pulley. A pulley lifts or lowers objects of different weights with relative ease.
