SIMPLE MACHNES

The first simple machine here is the inclined plane. inclined planes make it easier to move up or down a slope. The load is the person and the effort is the persons legs moving up the stairs.

The second Simple machine is a wedge. A wedge helps you cut through things. The load is the block of wood. The effort is the knife going into to the wood.

The third simple machine is the screw. A screw turns into wood or other material to held things in place. the effort is the screw turning into the wood. the load is the black of wood.

The first simple machine is a lever. A hammer is acting like a lever by pulling the nail out of the wood. The load is the nail the folcrum is the wood the effort is the hammer.

The next is a pulley. The pulley helps you carry things up or down easier. the effort is the rope being pulled and the load is the object being pulled. The fulcrum is the center of the thing that turns.

The next one is the Wheel and Axel. The effort is the wheel and the axel is the the folcrum. The wheel helps you turn things.

I made abraclet made of steel spray painted purple and red and blue wires wraped around it. I had no inspiration for this it juts came to me as i went. The steel and wires could come from any simple machine. The wires could be useful because they carry electonic currents throughout the simple machine.
