Wheel and Axle

LI: to read for meaning and understanding.

LI: to use smart searching skills.

Our inquiry focus was to learn about simple machines and create a labelled diagram on one of them. I created a labelled diagram of an wheel and axle. An Wheel and Axle is a simple machine that has a wheel locked to a central axle and they rotate each other when force is applied.

On the labelled diagram I created, I named the parts of the wheel and axle, the wheel and the axle.

In the bottom corner of the labelled diagram, I wrote a twenty-five word description of what an wheel and axle is and its creative purpose, which is to make moving objects easier.

I found this activtiy fun and easy because I am familiar with an wheel and axle and was able to recall my knowledge of what it is so that I can help others by labelling the parts of an wheel and axle.
