Simple Machines
There are six types of simple machines that help to move objects and help change the direction of the force. Mechanisms are made up of one or more simple machines.

Structures
Simple machines are affected by the materials used and the forces acting on them.
Forces & Movement
Simple machines allow humans to move objects with less force than would otherwise be needed.

Simple machines can transfer forces that cause objects to speed up, slow down, or change direction.
Simple Machines
Simple machines are tools that have been used for thousands of years to make life easier and more enjoyable for humans. They are still important in many everyday objects.

Types of tools can vary between different cultures around the world.
