Machines by Chase

 Simple machines are basic mechanical devices for applying a force. Some simple machines are an inclined plane, wedge, and a screw. Examples for way people use these Simple Machines are screwing in screws in your deck, using a pulley to move a car engine, and a ramp to load things in the back or on something.

Compound Machines are more complex Simple machines, or a machine that uses two or more Simple Machines. Everyday objects are Complex Machines, Scissors, wheelbarrow, even a fishing reel is a complex machine. Isnt it amazing how objects around your house are simple or complex machines?

 The most interesting part of these are that almost everything you have is either a Simple Machine or Complex Machine. Like if you drive a car, that is hundreds if not thousands of simple machines. Even the stapler you use to turn in multiple page assignments is a compound machine.

I really hope that at least one time in the past few years of thinking more mature that you wonder what something is made of. If you didn't know what a simple or compound machine were would you be able to really know what that object is. You probably would be able to name things it is made of but did you know they were simple or complex machines?

            I think it is awesome how the things you use everyday are simple or complex machines, like without knowing what they were no way would you know if they were simple or complex. Like how awesome is it that you can be doing something you love, like fishing and be using a complex machine.
