<strong>Simple</strong> <strong>Machine</strong><br />

THE TWO FAMILIES!!!!!<br />

There are 6 simple<br />

machines divided<br />

into two families<br />

(groups). The first<br />

one is the lever<br />

family containing<br />

the lever, pulley<br />

and wheel-and –<br />

axle. The second<br />

the wedge family<br />

which contains the<br />

wedge, screw and<br />

inclined plane. If<br />

you’re wondering<br />

what’s a simple<br />

machine which<br />

you probably are<br />

it’s a simple tool<br />

that’s used to<br />

make work easier.<br />

<strong>Simple</strong> machines<br />

are all over the<br />

place each big machine<br />

has at least<br />

one or two simple<br />

machines. There<br />

PULLEY POWER!!!!<br />

As you can tell from<br />

the article above pulleys<br />

are part of the<br />

lever family (which<br />

is awesome). Pulleys<br />

help pull stuff up.<br />

You use a pulley for<br />

pulling up and down<br />

the flag. Even cranes<br />

are made of pulleys,<br />

are always simple<br />

machines in complex<br />

machines. I<br />

think I like the<br />

lever family more<br />

because, I like to<br />

mess around with<br />

pulleys are pretty much<br />

every where! Have you<br />

ever gone sailing on a<br />

sailboat? Well the sails<br />

on a sailboat has a pulley.<br />

Pretty amazing<br />

pulleys and I like to<br />

ride bikes.<br />

SIMPLE MACHINE<br />

right?<br />

POWER<br />

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<br />

=)<br />

I think you’re a pulley<br />

expert now but there's<br />

still more to know<br />

remember that!!!!!

There are 7 simple machines and<br />

I’ll tell you about all of them one by<br />

one. First is the screw a screw is part<br />

of a light bulb and spiral staircases are<br />

screws. A screw is in the wedge family<br />

because it goes into the wood. Second<br />

is the lever one example is a<br />

wheelbarrow levers are in the lever<br />

family of course. Third is the pulley<br />

one example is a flag pole pulleys are<br />

in the lever family. The fourth is the<br />

inclined plane stairs are an example<br />

of an inclined plane the inclined plane<br />

is part of the wedge family. Only<br />

three to go the gear, wheel and axle<br />

and the wedge!!!! 5th is the gear one<br />

example is a clock the gear is not<br />

in a family that I know of. Next,<br />

the wheel and axle an example of<br />

this simple machine is a door<br />

knob!!! Last but definitely<br />

not least the WEDGE!!!<br />

The wedge is part of the<br />

wedge family and an exam-<br />
