What are some examples of screws?

Question

I'm doing a Rube Goldberg project and I need to have at least one example of the 6 simple machines in it. Please help me out.

Answer 1

Here is one that you don't see mentioned all that often, but could be important to watch out for nonetheless:

Answer 2

Some examples of screws are the lid of a jar or bottle, a drill, a s***w itself, a nut (not the fruit), etc.

Answer 3

Not sure what you are looking for...

A s***w is an inclined plane wrapped around a pole.  A spiral staircase is an example of a s***w (so is that spiral ramp to/from a parking deck)

Do you need examples of the other 5??

Lever:  claw hammer

Wedge:  Axe

Pulley:block & tackle

Wheel & Axle: door k**b

Inclined plane: dump truck bed
