Simple Machines

SSBAT-

1. Name 6 simple machines

2. Define Mechanical Advantage

3. Calculate the mechanical advantage provided by 6 simple machines. 

 

Simple machines make work "easier" by reducing the amount of force required to move an object. Follow the instruction below to learn about mechanical advantage and simple machines.

Part 2, simple machines. Create a document in you class folder and name it simple machines and mechanical advantage. Afterwards, watch the three videos below. Explain what each simple machine does, and how it makes work easier. Then explain how to calcualte the mechanical advantage created by each simpe machine. Your document should have 6 simple machines listed. I am posting videos about three simple machines, you will need to research and find the other three.I recommend looking at Brain Pop, or anywhere on you tube for further explanation.
