Simple Machines within my home

There are many diiferent simple machines in my house that help make my life easier. I chose 6 machines that contained different simple machines within them.

This object is used to lift weights. It helps by making it easier to lift them. With the help of the pulley in the machine it appears to make the weight lighter than what it actually is.


This object is just a plain wedge. It is machine by itself. It makes construction easier by being able to wedge things.





This object is a screw, it may be small but it holds objects together very well. It makes general life easier by holding objects together.







This object is a garage door opener. It uses a lever to open the garage door easily. This object definetely imroves lif by opening the garage door with the touch of a button.





This object is odvisouly just a plain pair of stairs, although it looks simple, it improves live by a landslide. It is an inlined plain. It makes our life easier by being able to ascend and descend with ease.




This object is just an ordianry door, altough simple it helps alot. It uses a wheel and axel in the door handle. It makes life easier by being able to open the door more easily.

This a picture of three simple machines. It includes a pully, wheel and axel, and a lever.
The pulley makes it easier to lift objects. I used a weight machine to demostrate a pully.
The lever also makes it easier to lift objects. A simple lever is shown in the picture.
The wheel and axel can be used to make things easier in various ways.
These are 3 common simple machines.

Simple Machines within Crestview


Simple Machines make life in general, eaiser. These are 3 examples of different machines that are within the walls of Crestview.

My first object is the water bottle. This is an example of a screw. The screw on the water bottle allows the cap to be screwed on top of the water bottle. This makes it quicker and easier to conceal the water in the bottle.
 My second object is a mechanical pencil. This is an example of a lever and a wedge. It can be used as a wedge and a lever, but I will use it as a wedge. This makes it easier to get things that are in a small space or other concealed environment. You also don’t need to get your hands dirty.


My last object is the fire emergency handle. This an example of a lever. This makes it easier to evacuate everyone from the building if it is needed. It is much easier than just yelling at the top of your lungs.
