Every day, we use things that help us lift, move, push, pull, or carry objects more easily. A bicycle helps us travel, a ramp helps move heavy boxes, and a pulley can lift a bucket from a well. These useful tools are called simple machines.
Simple machines are important because they make work easier for people. Even though they are called “simple,” they are powerful tools that we use in our homes, schools, playgrounds, and many other places every day.
In this book, you will learn about five simple machines — the lever, pulley, wheel and axle, inclined plane, and screw. Through easy explanations, fun illustrations, and real-life examples, you will discover how each machine works and why it is useful.
