Building Science & Maths concepts through real experiences.
We encounter various types of lever in our everyday lives: opening a drink with a bottle opener, cutting paper with scissors, taking the lid off a paint pot using a screwdriver, and – the simplest of all – playing on a seesaw in the park. Yet, the principle of…
A mechanical device that changes the direction or magnitude of a force is known as a simple machine. In general terms, they are defined as simple mechanisms that make use of leverage or mechanical advantage to multiply force. Simple machines have few or no moving parts to modify motion and…
A simple machine is a mechanical device that changes the direction or magnitude of a force. In general, they can be defined as the simplest mechanisms that use mechanical advantage (also called leverage) to multiply force. Usually the term refers to the six classical simple machines that were defined by…
Can you imagine a world where nothing ever changes? No one moves. Nothing even stirs. Like a dead, stationary planet. As soon as there is any motion or any sort of action, some force kicks in. Or, to put it the other way, every force in nature results into some…
