This document discusses simple and complex machines. Simple machines have one or few components and examples include levers, hammers, and pulleys. Complex machines have many elements, such as bicycles, cars, computers, and phones. Levers are classified as simple machines and have three parts - the load, fulcrum, and effort. The document provides activities for classifying machines and examples of simple and complex machines.

11. QUESTIONS
 What kind of machine is a computer?
 What kind of machine is a hammer?
 What are the three parts of a lever?
 Let’s think in examples of simple
machines (Write 5 words)
 Let’s think in examples of complex
machines (Write 5 words)

12. ACTIVITIES
1. Classify these machines in simple
or complex.
2. Write load, fulcrum or effort in this
levers. Then, say if it is 1st genre,
2nd or 3rd
lever – car – computer – hammer – pulley – clock –
bicycle – ramp – wheel - telephone

13. JOURNAL
 Write and draw three examples simple
and three of complex machines
