Simple Machines

Can you Imagine it?!

What if you had to use your teeth to open a can of tuna fish?

What if you had to push your car to make it move?

We have SIMPLE MACHINES to help us with these and all kinds of tasks.

SIMPLE MACHINES are tools that make work easier. 

Can openers make opening tuna fish cans easier!

Wheels make moving cars easier!

These are all examples of SIMPLE MACHINES.
