Super Simple Machines

Simple Machines There are six simple machines. They are levers, pulleys, wheel and axle, inclined plane, wedge and screw. Gears are sometimes counted as the seventh type. We are learning about each of these during our science unit. The essential questions are: 1. How do simple machines help us? 2. What are the different kinds of energy? 3. What are some real life examples of simple and compound machines?  In CLIC, we are creating our own complex machines using these simple machines. Watch our progress in future blog posts.
