LI: to find information about simple machines
We collaborated in our group to find information about simple machines. There are six simple machines.
Pulley: A pulley is a simple machine that is very useful to lift up heavy objects. For example: If you were in an elevator the pulley pulls you up to take you to the next level floor.
Lever: Lever helps to weigh the mass of something unknown.
Inclined plane: An inclined plane is a ramp that helps heavy wheeled objects move up.
Wedge: A wedge is a simple machine with a sharp tip and a thick edge. The tip is used to stop a door from moving
Wheel and axle: A wheel and axle is used to pull something that is heavy.
Screw: A screw is used to help grip on the surface it is screwed into so that it could hold together.
Our challenge was to create labelled diagrams (information pictures) to show our understanding of the information for each simple machine. We also summarised our facts in 25 words.
