The Simple Machines ClipArt collection offers 367 illustrations of the six simple machines: inclined planes, levers, pulleys, screws, wedges, and the wheel and axel. The collection also includes a gallery of balances (a type of first class lever used for measuring) and a gallery of gears (a special type of wheel and axel where the wheel has teeth).

This science ClipArt gallery offers 17 illustrations of a simple machine, inclined planes. Inclined planes are surfaces whose endpoints have different heights, and by moving an object up the plane, it eliminates the need to move the object completely vertical, reducing work.

This science ClipArt gallery offers 46 illustrations of levers. Levers use a rigid object with a fulcrum or pivot point, and by doing so multiply the mechanical force applied to another object.

This science ClipArt gallery offers 84 illustrations of a simple machine, screws. Screws are made of a coninuous inclined plane (threads) on a surface, and is used to convert force from rotational to linear, or linear to rotational. The ratio of threads determines the mechanical advantage.
