Students are asked to identify the six simple machines: (1) inclined plane, (2) lever, (3) pulley, (4) screw, (5) wedge, and (6) wheel and axle. The images on this identification worksheet have a more basic engineering look than commonly used photographs. This simplicity helps students to understand the six simple machines in their most basic form, and to be able to better recognize them in everyday applications. Click here to print.

As primary school teachers use this worksheet to help students identify the six simple machines through clear, basic engineering illustrations rather than photos, they can point out the moving parts and motions that make these machines function properly. This simplified visual approach makes core concepts easier to grasp for young learners, particularly in this digital era where children seldom see these machines in daily use. Teachers can assign this free PDF printable as guided practice, a quiz, or homework after introducing each machine, then extend learning by having students find real-world examples around the classroom.
