Book Overview

A chisel, which uses a sharp blade to split an object apart, is an excellent example of a wedge. Simple machines are everywhere, and this visually appealing book uses practical examples and easy-to-understand text to illustrate some of the many ways that we use wedges everyday. Reluctant readers will be excited to use household objects to conduct the experiments illustrating the physics behind this extraordinary simple machine.
