#2_Simple machines in school



In our stem class we went around the school to find simple machines. Simple machines are machines that are not compound and make life easier.


Picture 1.
This is a tack. A tack is a wedge. It is a wedge because it cuts through
things to make things stay.




















Picture 2.
This is a ramp. A ramp is an inclined plane.An inclined plane makes things easier to move up or down from place to place.




















Picture 3.
This is a pencil sharpener. It has a lever, screw, and gears in it. A lever helps to make thing move or go. A screw helps things stay together. The gears are what make the lever turn the things on the inside.
