Force, Energy
- What is a force?
- is a push or a pull acting on an object.
- What is Energy?
- is the ability to do a work.
- What is friction?
- is a force that resists relative motion between two surfaces in contact.
- What is a lever?
- is a bar that can be moved about a fixed point called fulcrum.
- What is a machine?
- A device used to make work easier.
- What is an inclined plane?
- A gradual sloping surface connected from a lower level to
- a higher level.
- In which way it helps?
- It takes less effort to push a heavy object up a gentle sloping ramp. than it does to pick up a steep slope.
- Give some examples/
- Ramp, A flight of stairs,
- escalator, and ladder.
- What is a screw?
- A type of an inclined plane around a rod.
- Every turn of the groove is a tiny inclined plane..
- What is a wedge?
- is an inclined plane with a slanting edge.
- Examples:knife,axe and spear.
- What is Wheel and axle?
- they together form a simple machine. A piece of rod
- attached to the center of a wheel.fixed to the axle moves with less effort.
- Example.Washing machine, Steering wheel of a car/
- What is a pulley?

- What is a lever?
- is a bar that can be moved about a fixed point fulcrum.
- what are the 3 components of Lever.
- The three parts of a lever is the fulcrum, load and the effort
- Fulcrum or the support.
- The position of the bar which bears the load.
- What are the 3 types of lever.
- 1st class order:
- the fulcrum is in the middle.
- Scissors, hammer, and physical balance
- first-class levers are see-saws, crowbars, pliers, scissors (which use two first-class levers together), and a hammer pulling a nail.
- 2nd class order lever.
- The load is in the middle.
- common second-class levers are doors, staplers, wheelbarrows, and can openers.
- nut cracker, lemon squeezer and wheel barrows,
- 3 rd class order lever.
- The effort is in the middle.
- Fishing rod, spade and tongs.
- a broom, a hoe, a fishing rod, a baseball bat, and our own human arms.
- Write about energy conversion.
- Electric kettle: Electrical to Heat energy.
- Radio: Electrical energy to Sound energy.
- Electric Train: Electrical energy to Mechanical energy.
- Solar cooker: Light energy to heat energy.
