Simple Machines

In Room 10 we have started to learn all about different machines. We have been looking at simple machines- some of the children didn't realise that we have so many simple machines around us. For example; can openers, forks, screw drivers, scissors and so many more...

We have learnt about the different parts of these simple machines.
Some have...

• a screw
• a pulley
• a wedge
• gears
• a handle/lever
• a wheel and axel 
• an inclined plane

Remember to bring  in a simple machine from home to share this week and see if you can describe the parts and how it works.
