screw: an inclined plane that
winds around a shaft
Concepts
·
a ramp that is
less steep lessens the amount of force you need to apply to push a box up a
ramp
·
scissors and
shears are made up of levers and wedges
·
a broom uses a
lever to work and is a simple machine
·
to decrease the
amount of force to pull something up a ramp, you increase the length of the
ramp
·
an inclined plane
is also a ramp
·
it takes less
force to pull something up a longer ramp
·
it takes less
force to turn a screw than drive a nail into wood because the threads on the
screw increase the distance it travels
·
goggles are
safety equipment that should be used for an experiment
·
a flag poles uses
a pulley to change the direction of force
·
a wedge it two
inclined planes back to back
Writing
A screw is easiest to turn
when its threads are closer together.
The further away the threads, the harder it is to turn.
Work is done only when a
force moves an object. If the object
does not move then it is not work.
A science experiment should
only test one variable at a time.
Students need to decide which variable they want to test and make sure
everything else in the experiment is the same.
