Simple Machines At School

Simple Machines At School
Simple machines are things that we use every day that help make life easier. There are many different kinds of simple machines that many people don’t necessarily think of as “machines”.

Flyswatter
This is me with a flyswatter. A flyswatter is a lever because the fulcrum is at the bottom, the effort is in the middle, and the load is at the end. The lever allows us to move faster to kills insects.

Stapler

This is me with a stapler. Is made up of a Lever and a Wedge.A stapler is made up of simple machines because when you push on the top you are useing a lever and when the staple goes through the papers it is wedging between them.

Ramp

This is me walking up a ramp. A ramp is a simple machine because it's a slope that makes it easier to walk up, or push and pull something up to a higher level. It's alot easier than trying to get boxes up stairs.
