This is my car

I am going to tell you about some simple machines
pulley:a rope attached to a wheel that makes heavier things easier to lift
wheel and axle:a stick going through the middle of an axle
lever:a rock or something big and heavy is below a wooden stick to lift a heavy thing
gears:a wheel with tiny points on the side to make other gears move
Inclined plane: an uphill slant



Here are some cool web pages about simple machines
