More DescriptionTake a closer look at some machines inside machines! Simple machines can be found all around us and help us to do a lot of different things. We use them in the house, in the yard, at school, and even when we play. Titles include close-up photographs with arrows and labels to help explain how simple machines work; exciting activities to try out at home or at school; information about the features of machines that make them so good at what they do; tips for further research. Each title will work from simple objects to more complex ones. The different perspective will come in part from the illustrations, which will show close-ups of the machines in place in the everyday objects, and from the text, which will explain the workings of various objects from the starting points of the simple machines.
