DEFINITION:A machine is a device that is created by people to make work easier.
Machines help us to do things such as lifting and moving objects from one place to another.
Simple Machines The most basic machines are called simple machines. Simple machines change the strength or direction of a force, such as a push or pull. The six types of simple machines are: The inclined plane The wedge The lever The wheel and axle The screw The pulley.
Complex machinesare also
called compound machines. Two or more simple machines work together to form a complex machine. Examples of complex machine are: Wheelbarrows Pencil sharpeners Crane Bulldozer Clippers Escalators

DEFINITION: Pulley A pulley has grooved wheels and ropes or chains to raise, lower, or move a load. The pulley changes the direction of the force applied to one end of the rope e.g., by pulling down on one end of the rope, a person can lift an object attached to the other end.
Examples of pulleys
Wells use the pulley system to
hoist the bucket out of the well. Flagpoles use pulleys in order to hoist the flag up or to bring it down. You pull the string on the pulley and the flag runs up or down the pole. Blinds on windows operate using a pulley system to move the blinds up and down. You pull the cord on the blinds and the pulley system causes the blinds to open or close. A crane is a type of pulley that is used in construction. Clothes lines also have pulleys.

______________________ and ____________________. MAKING A PULLEY Materials needed 1. Wire hanger 2. Wire cutter 3. Empty thread spool 4. Thread 5. Paper puncher 6. Sanitary cup half filled with rice.
Procedure 1. Using a wire cutter, cut the bottom of a wire hanger directly in the centre. 2. Place the empty thread spool onto one end of the wire, then slide the other end into the spool from the opposite direction. 3. When the spool is secure on both sides of the wire hanger, bend the ends down so that the spool stays in place. 4. Suspend the hanger from a hook or on a wall. 5. Using the paper puncher, punch holes into the sides of the cup. 6. Tie one end of a piece of string onto the cup, and thread the other end of the string over the spool. (The string should be around twice as long as the distance from the hanger to the floor) 7. Pull the loose end of the string to lift the weight
