SIMPLE MACHINE
– is any device that
makes work easier
and faster by
reducing the effort
or force used in
doing the work.
KINDS OF
SIMPLE
MACHINE
The Lever
 The Lever
a rigid bar that is free to turn about
a fixed point called the fulcrum
Every Lever has three (3) parts:
1. Resistance Force, Input Force or Load,
What you are trying to move or lift.
2. Effort Force or Output Force - The work
done on the Lever.
3. Fulcrum – A fixed pivot point.
The Lever
 1st Class Lever

• The Fulcrum (fixed pivot point) is

located between the Effort (Input)
and the Resistance (Output) Forces.
• The effort and the resistance move in
opposite directions.
• The effort force pushes down in order
to lift the resistance or load.
 The Pulley

• A pulley changes the direction of the

force:
– Instead of lifting up, you can pull down
using your body weigh against the load
(what is being lifted)
• A pulley gains nothing in force,
or block-and-tackle
pulley.
The Inclined Plane
• Functions of the screw
– To fasten things – the standard screw or nuts
& bolts.
– Drill bits are screws used to make holes.
– A jackscrew is used to lift heavy objects; car
jack.
• When you turn a screw:
– The input force is changed by the threads
into an output force.
– The output force pulls the screw into the
materials.
– Friction between the threads & the material
holds the screw in place.
Pantomime Strips:
Orient the pupils about
pantomime. Have each group
pick a strip from the box. While a
representative is pantomiming
the rest of the groups should
guess the kinds of simple
machines and their uses. Every
correct answer of the group will
be given points
Plan It Out:
The pupils will identify all
the simple machines needed
to repair the house.
Group Activity
Group 1: Crossword Puzzle.
Identify the simple machine
being describe.
Group 2: Where do I belong?
Using the different pictures
classify what simple machine
they belong.
Group 3: What I am?
EVALUATION:
1. Which of the following best explains
why lifting a heavy object with a single
fixed pulley and rope makes the task
seem easier?
a. Less force is needed to lift the
object
b. The direction of the force required
to lift the object is changed
c. Less work is done when moving the
object
d. The force needed to move the
object is applied over a greater
distance
2. The three types of
pulleys systems are:
Fixed, Movable and
_____. Block and Attack
b. Tackle and Sing
c. Movable and Pull
d. Block and Tackle
3. A stiff bar that
moves about a fixed
point is a
a. lever
b. wheel and axle
c. wedge
d. inclined plane
4. Which simple machine
would stairs be an
example?
a. a wedge
b. a pulley
c. an inclined plane
d. a lever
5. Which is an
example of a wheel
and axle?
a. Hammer
b. Ramp
c. Wagon
d. Flag Pole
