Getting Wood
Long ago people used hand tools to cut down trees. They used rivers to move the logs.
Now technology has changed. Big machines help cut and move logs. Tree shears help cut logs. Grapplers help move logs.
Moving Logs
Trucks take the logs to a sawmill. Machines help move the logs on and off the trucks. Machines also help cut the logs into boards.
Simple Machines
A simple machine is a tool. It has few or no moving parts. It makes work easier. Simple machines help do many different jobs. A wedge is a simple machine. A wedge is used to push things apart. The red tool in the log is a wedge.
A wheel and axle is a simple machine. A wheel and axle is used to move things. The things on this picture have wheels and axles.
Using Simple Machines
A screw is a simple machine. A screw is used to hold things together. Screw A lever is a simple machine. A lever is used to lift something.
A pulley is a simple machine. A pulley can move things up and down. It uses a rope and wheel. Do you see two pulleys?
An inclined plane is a simple machine. An inclined plane is high at one end. It is low at the other end. It makes things easier to move.
Tools To Communicate
Long ago people did not have the technology we have now. There were no computers, cameras, televisions, or radios. Now we communicate using all these things.
Technology has changed. Long ago tools and machines were different. Look around your world. What tools and machines do you use?
