Blog 4

Our stem class had to take pictures round school with simple machines.This time they sent us home with a project they wanted us to take pictures around our house of simple machines.
In this picture I am with a ramp.A is a incline plane.They help make life easier by help lifting things up or trying to get car or such on trailers.Because you don't have to lift up the door you can just press a button and the pulley will do it for you.
In this picture I am with a wheel and axle It is also a picture boat trailer.It makes life easier so you don't have to pull a boat around.

In this picture I am showing a picture of a wedge.This makes life easyer because instead of taking a rock of whatever trying to wedge it in somewhere I can just use this wedging bar.

In this pictures I am showing a lever.This makes life easier because it helps you lift things up like more heavy things like cars.


*The pictures look bad I was sick this day.

Different Simple Machines

This picture is about some simple machines we learned about in stem class.We learned about a wheel and axle for example I have a door nob the thing behind the nob would be the axle and the wheel would be the nob.The other thing I have is a pulley the fulcrum of it is the top part move the to things.The effort is the person or machine pulling it.The load is whatever you are lifting.The other thing is lever the fulcrum is holding and making it balancing it the load its once again whatever is being picked up.The effort is whatever helping it be moved up.
In this picture we have a wedge I am showing a person shoving a axe in a log or wedging it in the log.I also so an incline plane me example is a hill or a slop.The next thing I am showing here a screw a screw is a cylinder with an incline plane rapped around it.
