Simple Machine: Screw

Today we are going to be learning all about screws and how they work but lets do a quick review first!


What three simple machines have we talked about already? What is an example of each one?

What is a Force?

What is a Load?


A Screw

A screw is a long thin metal shaft with threads spiraling along its lengths. 

It makes rotational (spinning movement) into linear movement (backwards and forewords)

It is a type of fastener. 

The closer the threads, the stronger the hold and the more force it takes to put a screw into a material. 





Tell me:

What is a screw?

How does it work?

Is it a fastener and why?

What are three things screws are used for?
