_Simple Machines_Around My School_#2

We recently went around our school to find different simple machines. A simple machine allows less force on an object. It makes jobs less strenuous and life easier.
Picture1.
The first simple machine is a 3-hole-punch. It is a combination of a wedge and a lever. The wedge pierces through the paper creating the 3 holes. The lever is the handle, it applies pressure to the wedge to pierce the paper.
Picture2.
The second simple machine is scissors. It is a wedge and a lever; just like the 3-hole-punch. The wedge it the two blades, and they cut through to paper. The lever is the handle that applies force to the wedge to cut the paper.
Picture3.
The third and final simple machine I did was the wheels on the smart board. It’s a wheel an axle.
The wheel and axle allows the smart board to slide on its track.
