Simple
Machines
Simple machines are everywhere! Theyve
been around for thousands of years. Ancient
scientists observed the world around them.
They realized that simple machines made it
easier to do things. Today, people use simple
machines for all types of tasks. Something
as basic as the fork you eat with is a simple
machine. So is the arm that lowers a shark
cage into the ocean! Your bicycle is made with
a combination of simple machines. It makes it
easy for you to get around town! This is called
mechanical advantage.
Mechanical advantage makes it easier to do
work. But in this case, work does not mean
a job you are paid to go to. Work is how much
physical effort it takes to do something. This
work could be opening a door, speeding down
a slide at the park, or shooting a winning goal
in a hockey game. A doorknob, a slide, and a
hockey stick are all simple machines! Each
simple machine helps you get some type of
work done.
There are six basic simple machines. This
book will help you figure out how each one
works. Read about things you see and use
every day. Then get to work! Do the fun
projects. Learn how simple machines make all
sorts of things easier and more entertaining.
Some of the activities in this book are quick
and easy to complete. Others will take a bit
more time. But just follow the steps and youll
be a master of mechanics in no time!
