Program Description
The student will learn that some machines don't have motors. They will also get an opportunity to see how a machine produces a force, controls the speed and direction of the force, but is unable to produce energy.

Objectives
To demonstrate and explore the operations of a first class lever.To demonstrate and explore the operations of a second class lever.To demonstrate and explore how a third class lever works.To show how a wheel and an axle together make a simple machine.To illustrate how a pulley simplifies lifting an object.To demonstrate the advantages of fixed and movable pulleys.To demonstrate and explore how gears reduce the effort it takes to produce motion.To demonstrate and explore how a conveyor is used to transfer motion and makes an object easier to move.To show how an incline's plane reduces the effort it takes to perform a job.To show how a wedge and an inclined plane are similar but perform differently.To illustrate the relationship between a screw and an inclined plane and how a screw reduces the amount of effort to do work.
