Blog 5- Catchy, fun!

This simple machine is a screw. It makes work easier by holding in this case a boor on to a box. I found this in my aunts "play room" its were she stores some on her toys. --------------------------------->








<--------- This simple machince is a wheel and axle and also a cart. It makes work eaiser by having the wheel turn and making the object move eaiser with wheel. It makes the load lighter and eaiser to carry or hull around. I also found this object in my aunts "play room."










This simple machince is known as a pulley. It makes work eaiser by pulling on side to make the load move up or down in a eaiser direction. It is a string on blinds and I found it in my aunts bedroom. ---------->









This a stair case leading upstairs. It is also inclined plane it makes the work eaiser by breaking movement down into smaller pieces. --------->







<------ This is a wedge and you can find it in a kitchen or in a safe place away from children. It cuts objects into smaller pieces to make work easier. All six of these simple machines make work and life a lot easier.














































This is a simle machice called a lever. I couldn't find a lever so decided to make on instead. It is a block and a circle roud peice which is the fulcrum. It moves up and down lifting things and making work eaiser.

Blog #4- inclined plane, wedge, screw

There are three simple machines I'm going to talk about and that's the inclined plane, wedge, and the screw. The inclined plane is a slop surface and it makes work easier by going up or down into smaller more conferable incriminates. The load would be the person walking down/up and the effort would be the legs. Then theres the wedge which is two inclined planes back to back and it makes work eaiser by breaking jobs into smaller parts. The effort would be the knife or the object cutting into the load or the object thats getting the cutting. The screw is a inclined plan wrapped around a cylinder. The effort would be the screwdriver and the load would be what the screw is going into.

Blog #3- levers, wheel+axle, pulley



Three simple machines are lever, wheel and axle, and pulley. The lever has two parts the fulcrum which is in the middle and the effort and load which are on the sides. The lever increse forces and can be adjusted by moving the fulcrum. The wheel and axle has an axle and a wheel then in the middle of the axle theres the fulcrum. The pulley is used to change the direction of a force and make work eaiser. It also has a effort load and a fulcrum.

Blog #1? fashion show



I made a headband out of a washing machine belt. I just seen the belt and knew I wanted to do a headband. The belt acts as a pulley to spin the drum. You can find pulleys every where. Like on a curtain or on something as simple as a flag pole.
