Wheel/Axle: A wheel and axle is a simple machine that involves a rope that unwinds onto an axle to spin a wheel.

Inclined Plane: A sloping ramp that slopes upwards so that things can be rolled up with minimal force

Wedge: A material that can be driven through two pieces to create a gap for other things to be put through

Screw: A piece of metal that is thin and can be used to hold things in place very securely.

Lever: A bar with a pivot point where pressure can be applied at one end to help the user apply more force then they need to give out.

Pulley: A rope tied around a circle that can be pulled on to apply force to the other side of the rope

Gears: A gear connects with other gears to add more force which then makes something turn, pull, move or edit

Energy: The strength required to sustain a certain type of pressure.

Force: How much pressure is applied to make something happen

Mass: The mass is the quantity of an object and the space it takes

Weight: The amount of force required to do a certain thing. 1:52 PM Wheel/Axle: A wheel and axle is a simple machine that involves a rope that unwinds onto an axle to spin a wheel.
