| Simple Machine | A machine with few or no moving parts that is used to make work easie. The six simple machines are the inclined plane, the wedge, the lever, the wheel and axle, the screw, and the pulley. |
| Inclined Plane | a flat, sloped or slanted surface along which a force moves an object to a different height |
| Wedge | A device that is thick at one end and tapers to a thin edge at the other end. Usually used to separate something. |
| Work | Force put on an object that causes it to move. |
| Screw | An inclined plane wrapped around a cylinder. Used to hold things together |
| Wheel & Axle | This simple machine rolls and allows something to move. |
| Lever | a simple machine that consists of a bar that pivots at a fixed point called a fulcrum |
| Pulley | A simple machine that consists of a grooved wheel with a rope or cable wrapped around it. It is used to multiply a force by pulling a rope or cable. |
| Fulcrum | The steady point on which the plank or rod of a lever rests |
| Effort Force | the force YOU apply to a lever or other machine |
| Resistance Force | The force the LEVER (or other machine) applies |
| Load | The object being lifted or moved |
| Complex Machine | Anything that combines two or more simple machines. Example: a bike |
