This Grade 2 science worksheet introduces simple machines like ramps, wheels, and levers. Students sort everyday examples by the kind of force each machine helps reduce, whether it is lifting or pushing. Fill-in and true-or-false questions build early understanding of how machines change the way we use force, preparing young learners to recognize simple machines at home and at school.
Style:
Force & Motion
Part A: Sort the Words
Sort each word or number into the correct category box.
ramp that lifts a box to a truckwheels on a suitcaselever like a seesawslide in a playgroundwagon with round wheelsbottle opener on a capwheelbarrow used in a gardendoor handle that turns
Reduces lifting force
Reduces pushing/pulling force
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. A ramp is a sloped surface that helps lift things without using as much force.
2. Round wheels help a wagon roll and reduce the push needed to move it.
3. A seesaw is a kind of lever that lifts a person on the other side.
4. Simple machines do not give us more energy, but they change the force we need.
5. A slide at the playground works like a ramp because it is sloped.
Part C: True or False?
Read each statement. Circle True or False.
1. A ramp makes lifting a heavy box easier than lifting it straight up.
True False
2. Wheels make it harder to move a wagon across the floor.
True False
3. A lever needs a pivot point to work properly.
True False
4. Simple machines give us extra energy to do work.
True False
