  10. Eduardo is helping his family move out of their old house. Help him decide which task would be easier, and then help him figure out what simple machine makes the job easier. NSF North Mississippi GK-8

  11. Eduardo has to move some heavy boxes into the moving truck. A B B would be easier because a ramp is an inclined plane. NSF North Mississippi GK-8

  12. Eduardo has to move a heavy box a long distance. A B A would be easier because the wagon has wheels and axels. NSF North Mississippi GK-8

  13. Eduardo needs to tear off a piece of packing tape. A B B would be easier because the edges of the scissors are wedges. NSF North Mississippi GK-8

  14. Eduardo needs to move a heavy box to his room on the fourth floor. A B B would be easier because Eduardo is using a pulley. NSF North Mississippi GK-8

  15. Eduardo needs to help his father move the refrigerator. A B A would be easier because the dolly is a lever (with wheels and an axel). NSF North Mississippi GK-8

  16. Eduardo needs to help his father change a flat tire on the moving truck. A B B would be easier because a jack uses a screw. NSF North Mississippi GK-8

  17. Now that Eduardo and his family have reached their new house, they need some help in unpacking their belongings. Help Eduardo decide on the best simple machine to use in each situation. NSF North Mississippi GK-8

  18. Eduardo needs to open the boxes his mom sealed with packing tape. What simple machine should he use? Eduardo should use a wedge (probably a pair of scissors). NSF North Mississippi GK-8

  19. The door to the moving truck is jammed shut. What simple machine might Eduardo’s father use to open it? Eduardo’s father should use a lever (most likely a crowbar). NSF North Mississippi GK-8

  20. Eduardo needs to carry the boxes out of the moving truck. What simple machine will make this easier? Eduardo needs an inclined plane (a ramp) to carry the boxes out of the truck. NSF North Mississippi GK-8

  21. There is a flagpole outside Eduardo’s new school. What simple machine could be used to raise and lower the flag? A pulley is used to raise and lower the flag. NSF North Mississippi GK-8

  22. Eduardo’s mom wants to hang a cabinet in the new kitchen. What simple machine might she use to attach it to the wall? Eduardo’s mom could use a screw to attach the cabinet to the wall and hold it in place. NSF North Mississippi GK-8

  23. Eduardo helped his father install doorknobs in the new house. What kind of simple machine is a doorknob? A doorknob is a wheel and axel. NSF North Mississippi GK-8
