Activating Strategy: How did ancient people build massive structures such as the pyramids in Egypt and Stonehenge?
If we did not have the large machines that we have today for building, would we still be able to make
these large structures? Why?

Essential Question:How do simple machines make life easier for us?
Standard:
S8P3c. Demonstrate the effect of simple machines (lever, inclined plane, pulley, wedge, screw, and wheel and axle) on work.

Use the Simple Machines Notes
Sheet during the lesson.
Be sure to draw illustrations for each concept shown on the notes sheet.

Work is when an applied force causes an object to move in
the direction of the force.
![Page 5: Activating Strategy: How did ancient people build massive structures such as the pyramids in Egypt and Stonehenge? If we did not have the large machines](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d345503460f94a0b859/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

Suppose you try to push a brick wall
over. Is this considered work? Why or why not?
![Page 6: Activating Strategy: How did ancient people build massive structures such as the pyramids in Egypt and Stonehenge? If we did not have the large machines](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d345503460f94a0b859/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

No. Work is done only when an object moves in the same direction of the force that is
being applied.
With your seat partner, list two examples of work and two examples of NO work.

A machine is a device that makes work easier by changing the size
or direction of a force.
Look at the list below and identify which are considered machines:• Can opener
• Doorknob
• Brake

the fulcrum in a lever and effort?
The closer the fulcrum is to the load, the less effort you will need
