L.I: To read for meaning and understanding
L.I: To use smart searching skills
Simple machines are basic devices that is used to apply force. For inquiry we looked over simple machines. There were 6 main machines. Which are Pulley, Wedge, Screw, Inclined plane, Lever and Wheel and Axle. We researched those 6 machines and then we created a labelled diagram showcasing the simple machine. We had to create a summary that had 25 words to explain the simple machine.
The pulley is used to pull up objects. The wedge is used to block objects from moving. The screw is used to grab its surrondings and pull them in by moving in a circular motion. The inclined plane is a flat surface that is used to move an object up and down. Wheel and Axle is a machine that has two wheels attached to an axle. The Lever is used to lift objects up by pushing down on one side.
I found this activity interesting because I found the simple machines easy to research and summarise. It was also fun to create my own pulley.
