Reader Description

Moving heavy things from one place to another can be hard work. It's a good thing that we have simple machines to help us. Once you've learnt more about levers, pulleys, and wheels, you won't be able to imagine life without them.

After you have completed the Reader

Make a three-column chart with the headings, Wheels, Levers, and Pulley. Look around your house for items that have wheels, levers, or pulleys. Record each item in the correct column. Write a paragraph about the items you found and how they make your life easier.
