What are simple machines? 🤔
Simple machines are tools that make work easier for us. They help us change the amount of force we need or the direction of the force. There are six main types of simple machines: **lever**, **wheel and axle**, **pulley**, **inclined plane**, **wedge**, and **screw**.
By using these simple tools, we can move heavy objects, lift things high up, or split things apart more easily than we could with just our hands!
