Make A Simple Pulley System For STEM The weather is finally perfect for getting outside and trying new science ideas like our outdoor pulley for kids. We have made some simple pulleys with a cardboard box and rope thrown over the railing of our indoor stairs and this simple PVC pipe pulle...

Pulley: I want to easily put clothes up and take them down, so I wanted a pulley clothesline. Easily removable: My husband and I are both tall, so I want to make sure that I can easily take the clothesline down when we’re not using it so that we don’t hit our heads on it. ...
Many complicated inventions can be broken down into a few of the six simple machines: the lever, inclined plane, wheel and axle, screw, wedge and pulley. These six machines form the basis for many more complicated creations that help to make life easier. Many students are required to create...
Make a simple diorama This is a great project for kids. You need a small box, glue stick, scissors and a magazine. That's it. I show you how to make a simple diorama. Make a Wizard's Globe Every wizard's lair has a globe like this. It works a lot like a gyroscope in that...
Zip lines are a pulley suspended on a cable or rope, mounted on a slope. Zip lines work with gravity. The slope needs to descend and gravity will help you out. You can’t zip your toy zip line up! Test out different angles. What happens if your slope is higher, lower, or the ...
The first thing to understand about a crane is that it relies on a simple pulley system to function. The crane has a large steel cable that is attached to the boom, or arm, of the machine. This cable runs through a series of pulleys as it extends outwards and downwards from the crane...

a larger volume, the (incompressible) fluid moves its plunger through a smaller distance. But because it moves over a smaller distance it generates a larger force. This is a "mechanical advantage," similar to how pulling the rope of a pulley with small force for a large distance can lift ...
Work is calculated by multiplying the force by the distance. There are two different kinds of machines: simple and complex machines. Simple machines include the pulley, lever and wedge, to name a few. Complex machines include two or more simple machines. ...
