Blog 5 Simple Machines At Home (:

This is me and the blinds in my room. These blinds represent a pulley. They make work easier because it has a string that you pull down to switch the blinds to let light in or keep it out. better than not having anything on your window at all.


This is a light switch found in my bed room... on my wall. The simple machine this light switch is, is a lever. It makes work easier because its easier to turn a light on with a switch right by you instead of having to walk up to it and switch it.



This is me and a set of stairs at my house. The simple machine these stairs are, is an incline plane. The stairs make work easier because it is easier for poeple to walk up stairs instead of a ramp. You can step on the slants in the incline plane, but if it were a ramp. you would have to climb up.


This... is a shovel. The simple machine this shovel is, is a wedge. It makes work easier because it has a pointed end, and when it digs into the ground, it easily picks dirt back up. Or really anything it digs into, its easier to pick up.


This is a steering wheel which was found in my dads car! The simple machine this steering wheel is, is a wheel and axle. It makes work easier because its easy to turn to make the wheels in a car move the way you want them to.





This right here is a screw. i found it in my dads tool box. The simple machine this screw is, is a screw. Screws make things easier because all you have to do is put them on a screw driver and drill them into something. It holds things together easily.

  1. Wheel and axel from a steering wheel. Never thought of that one. Guess I'm just too used to having it around all the time! Great choice.
