https://padlet.com/sheltonj18/9i754z1klfjer1gl For this project you will research the six types of simple machines: lever, screw, pulley, wheel and axle, inclined plane and wedge. You will define each type and list at least 2 examples of each found in school or in your home. Please include a drawing or photograph of these examples. You will also design and construct an apparatus that contains a simple machine. I have provided a list of resources for you to use on this padlet. These resources are meant to help you with your definitions and to get ideas for your apparatus. Don't forget to cite your resources using one of the citation tools I have included. Most of these are free to use and should allow you access. A few are available through our school and you will just log in using clever. If you have trouble accessing any resource please reach out to me for help. en-us 2022-07-13 18:43:43 UTC 2026-03-11 01:14:25 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f3a2.png sheltonj18 https://padlet.com/sheltonj18/9i754z1klfjer1gl/wish/2242802155 Academic Kids is a free online encyclopedia.
