People over time have thought of different ways and tools to make their lives easier. That was the reason behind the invention of
winches and pulleys that you  studied in physics.
Pulleys made life easier
Like all simple machines, the origin of the pulley system is unknown. It goes back to 1500 BC, to the
people in Mesopotamia who were using rope pulleys for lifting water.
Pulleys work by trading distance for effort and changing the direction of the force. For example, using
two pulleys to lift a weight, it only needs half the force to lift it as it would with one pulley, however if the weight was being lifted one
metre high, two metres of rope would be needed. This is called the ‘mechanical advantage' and can be
increased by adding more pulleys into the block and tackle system.
Pulleys were responsible for the invention of the crane. The first recorded cranes appeared in Greece around the late 6th century
BC, now it is a tool that most of us see on an almost daily basis.

# data[].attributes.body
Examples of pulleys applications in our daily life:
- Sails on sailboats are raised and lowered using pulleys.
- Wells use the pulley system to lift the bucket out of the well.
- Curtains at a theatre are moved using pulley systems that pull the curtains apart.
- Escalators use pulley systems to function.
The material in the text is based on an article called, “How Pulleys Changed the World?”

Children toys, radio devices, remote controls, clocks, flashlights, and pocket calculators need batteries
to work. Batteries are also needed for cell phones, laptops, hearing aids and wheelchairs.
What is a battery?
A battery slowly converts chemicals packed inside it into electrical energy. It produces electrical energy whenever it is needed.
Electricity flows without wires.

# data[].attributes.body
Types of Batteries:
There are two types of batteries: primary and secondary. Primary batteries are disposable ones that cannot
be charged, whereas secondary batteries are rechargeable like the ones in cell phones or laptops.

Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening                                        Robert Frost
Whose woods these are I think I know.

His house is in the village though;

He will not see me stopping here

To watch his woods fill up with snow.

My little horse must think it queer

To stop without a farmhouse near

Between the woods and frozen lake

The darkest evening of the year.

He gives his harness bells a shake

To ask if there is some mistake.

The only other sound’s the sweep

Of easy wind and downy flake.

The woods are lovely, dark and deep,

But I have promises to keep,

And miles to go before I sleep,

And miles to go before I sleep.

(a)  answer comprehension questions.

There are many examples of acids and bases in the products that you use in your daily life, such as: citrus fruit, toothpastes, vinegar, baking soda, soap, and cleaning products.

First toothpaste in history

The Egyptians were the first people to use a paste to clean their teeth around 5000 BC. But the first modern toothpaste was invented in 1824 by the dentist, Peabody. The first commercially produced toothpaste was sold in a jar in 1873.

Toothpastes mainly contain water, abrasives, including aluminum hydroxide, calcium hydrogen phosphates, calcium carbonate, silica, hydroxyapatite and fluoride.
