| Title | Simple Machines (Physical Science In Action) |
| Synopsis |
SIMPLE MACHINES - engaging visuals and colourful graphics explain the concept of work, and how humans use certain basic tools to help get work done. Students will learn that work happens when a force is used to move an object over a distance. Simple machines are used to either reduce the force or increase the distance over which the force is exerted. Six simple machines are explained: the lever, the wheel & axle, the pulley, the inclined plane, the screw and the wedge. Real-life demonstrations are used to teach concepts such as effort force, resistance force and mechanical advantage. (Library Video Company, USA) |
