You might ask what are simple machines.Well let me help you understand,Lets begin with a couple of examples

  • Inclined plane.
  • Lever.
  • Pulley.
  • Screw.
  • Wedge.
  • Wheel and axle.

 Now,what is the difference between simple machines and machines ,you might ask.well here are both of the meanings

  • A machine is a tool containing one or more parts that uses energy to perform an intended action. 
  • A simple machine is a device that simply transforms the direction or magnitude of a force, but a large number of more complex machines exist.
  • Examples include vehicles, computers, television, and radio.

Now that we have that covered time to test our knowledge!

As a class we tried to complete the  Rube Goldberg machine but we failed, the purpose was to click the red button with out touching it with your hand.some people might think its impossible but its not because other classes proved the point that there are many ways you can touch it without actually touching it.Its not going to be as easy but it will still work.
