This is another free tool for citations. You can use this one for a variety of resources.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
APA Style is widely used by students, researchers, and professionals in the social and behavioral sciences. Scribbr's free citation generator automatically generates accurate references and in-text citations.

This citation guide outlines the most important citation guidelines from the 7th edition APA Publication Manual (2020).

APA in-text citations

The basics

APA in-text citations include the author's last name, publication date, and, if relevant, a locator such as a page number or timestamp. For example, (Smith, 2021, p. 170). See it as a shorter version of the entry in the reference list.

You should include in-text citations every time you're quoting or paraphrasing someone else's ideas or words. In doing so, you give credit to the original author and avoid plagiarism.

Parenthetical vs. narrative citation

The in-text citation can take two forms: parenthetical and narrative. Both types are generated automatically when citing a source with Scribbr's APA Citation Generator.

Parenthetical citation: According to new research ... (Smith, 2020).

Narrative citation: Smith (2020) notes that ...

Multiple authors and corporate authors

The in-text citation changes slightly when a source has multiple authors or an organization as an author. Pay attention to punctuation and the use of the ampersand (&) symbol.

Missing information

When the author, publication date or locator is unknown, take the steps outlined below.

*Format the title based on its formatting in the corresponding reference entry (either italicized or, if the title in the reference entry is not italicized, placed in quotation marks). Use title case capitalization.

APA references

The basics

APA references generally include information about the author, publication date, title, and source. Depending on the type of source, you may have to include extra information that helps your reader locate the source.

Reference examples

Citing a source starts with choosing the correct reference format. Use Scribbr's Citation Example Generator to learn more about the format for the most common source types. Pay close attention to punctuation, capitalization, and italicization.

Missing information

It is not uncommon for certain information to be unknown or missing, especially with sources found online. In these cases, the reference is slightly adjusted.

Formatting the APA reference page

The basics

On the reference page, you list all the sources that you've cited throughout your paper. Place the page, right after the main body and before any appendices.

On the first line of the page, write the section label "References" (in bold and centered). On the second line, start listing your references in alphabetical order.

Apply these formatting guidelines to the APA reference page:

Double spacing (within and between references)

Hanging indent of ½ inch

Legible font (e.g. Times New Roman 12 or Arial 11)

Page number in the top right header

Which sources to include

On the reference page, you only include sources that you have cited in the text (with an in-text citation). You should not include references to personal communications that your reader can't access (e.g. emails, phone conversations or private online material).

Tools and resources

In addition to the APA Citation Generator, Scribbr provides many more tools and resources that help millions of students and academics every month.

A very basic look at what simple machines are, the six types of simple machines, and examples of each type.
Shand's casual tone in the elementary text makes this concept understandable for young readers. She closes the book with a one-page review of each simple tool. Cartoonish illustrations by Srimalie Bassani feature a diverse group of children, usually pictured with a graph paper background. There is lots of action and plenty of things to see.

There are diagrams that are easy to follow as well as possible guesses as to why things work as they do, followed by the actual explanations of inclined planes, screws, levers, and wedges. The back matter features photos of various simple machines in real life, showing instances where they made life and work a whole lot easier for humans. This one is a good choice for elementary or intermediate science classrooms, but it's also just fun to read in order to understand what makes a jar lid, a door knob or a bicycle work so efficiently. Ah, the things we take for granted! ...more

Dec 02, 2019 Katie marked it as picture-book

There are many things that work in the world and for the child whose favorite question is “why,” this book is the answer. There are many things included in this book like seesaws and jar lids, the simple things that adults take for granted but the unique science of how the simple stuff works. This book would be a great read-aloud for a science class or it would be fantastic to recommend to students who are curious at heart.

It's time to go to the amusement park! Giant rides loom around you, and countless parts are in motion. But many simple machines are at work too. See the Ferris wheel? That's a wheel and axle.

(Redirected from Simple machines)

In physics, a simple machine is any device that only requires the application of a single force to work.

The traditional list of simple machines is:

The inclined plane

The screw

The wedge

The lever

The wheel and axle

The pulley

All of these convert a smaller amount of force exerted over a larger distance to a greater amount of force exerted over a shorter distance, or vice versa. They may also convert the force.

The ratio of the output force to the input force is the mechanical advantage. For example, the mechanical advantage of a lever is equal to the ratio of its two arms. The mechanical advantage of an inclined plane (with the force acting parallel to the plane) is the cosecant of the angle of inclination.

Note: Real machines are also affected by factors such as friction and elasticity, so the actual mechanical advantage of a simple machine will usually differ from its theoretical value.

These simple machines fall into two general classes; those dependent on the vector resolution of forces (inclined plane, wedge, screw, toggle joint) and those in which there is an equilibrium of torques (lever, pulley, wheel). Simple machines are often used in combination as components of more complex machines; for example the Archimedes screw, which is a pump, is an example of a complex machine where the screw is a helical inclined plane.

Variations to the list of simple machines:

Some say there are only five simple machines arguing that the wedge is a moving inclined plane.

Others further simplify the list to four saying that the screw is a helical inclined plane. This position is less accepted because a screw simultaneously converts a rotational force (torque) to a linear force.
