For this project I need to:
- Take a picture of 7 different simple machines
- For each simple machine:
- Sketch an annotated, scale drawing of the simple machine (for this I will be using Autodesk Inventor)
- Calculate the Ideal Mechanical Advantage (IMA) of the simple machine
- Clearly explain how each simple machine makes my life easier using specific examples and simple language
I will be assessed on
- How Creative or Unique my Simple Machines are
- Accuracy and Detail of Annotated Sketches
- Accuracy and Detail of Calculations
- Creativity and Professionalism of Final Project
- How Impactful my Explanations and Findings Are
- Bonus Points for Having a Theme
My theme is things around my house.
Here are the simple machines that I found:
Compound Machine Part I – Wedge
Compound Machine Part II – Wheel and Axle
Compound Machine Part III – 2nd Class Lever
