Force
Gravity is the force that pulls objects
towards the larger object. Earth is the
larger object that is why things on the
Earth fall down. Earth is big. The moon is
small that is why there is not as much
gravity on the moon. Gravity does not
make you unable to go up. You can jump
but you will fall back to earth. Over
longer distances things will fall faster.
The person on the moon can jump higher
than the goalie because gravity is not
pulling on him.
Friction is the force that
makes it harder to push or pull
things on a surface. If we didn’t
have friction if you touched
something it would go on
forever.
Simple     Lever

            Wedge
Machines    Wheel and Axle

            Pulley

            Inclined Plane

            Screw
A wedge helps split or go
        though things. In the
        picture the hammer hits
Wedge   the wedge the wedge goes
        though the wood. A wedge
        splits the wood not
        smashes it.
These are the three
         different kinds of levers.
         Levers help you lift
Lever    something heavy. You can
         use a shovel to prop a rock
         out of the ground instead
         of lifting it.
A wheel and axle is a wheel
                 connected to a pole. When
                 one rotates the other one
Wheel and Axle   does too.
The picture to the left is a
         block and tackle pulley. A
         block and tackle helps lift
Pulley   heavy loads.
On an inclined plane you
                 can slide the load up the
                 inclined plane. This has
Inclined Plane   friction but is easier than
                 to lift it strait up.
A screw is an inclined
        plane wrapped around a
        pole. It helps go into
Screw   things.
