SCIENCE: Technology Simple Machines
Simple machines are all around us. Yet most people eating spaghetti
with a fork or turning a doorknob rarely stop to think about just how
important devices like levers and wheels really are!
Objects like robots, bulldozers, and bicycles may take center stage
in the mechanical world, but the truth of the matter is that six simple
machines in use for literally thousands of years are far
more important in our daily lives. Check out these places on the Internet
for wonderful insights into the world of simple machines, plus easy-to-conduct,
hands-on activities for students of all ages.
