Simple
Machines:
Wheel and Axle
 What are the
different kinds
of simple
machine?
What do bicycle,
tricycle, cart,
wheelchair and
stroller have in
common?
I will give each group a set of
toys with wheels joined by an
axle .
Be able to answer these
questions :
1. How do these toy cars
move?
2. How are the wheels on
each side of the car joined
to each other?
clay rolling pin
 We will have activity
stations with play
dough and a rolling
pin.
You will practice
flattening the dough
with the pin.
 The rolling pin is a wheel and
axle.
When you push on the handles
(the axle) the wheel turns and
flattens out the dough.
Challenge students to think of
other common machines that
have one wheel like the rolling
pin. Great examples include a
wheelbarrow, a top, and a
playground merry-go-round.
