This is a toilet paper dispenser. It acts as a wheel and axle. Toilet paper is the wheel and the axle is the removable part that holds the toilet paper in place.
These two pictures are of my garage door. It shows how it has a pulley system to lift the door. The chain is what gets pulled.
This is a ramp to get into my garage. This is considered a wedge.
This is my can opener. It turns a can around to open it. This would be considered a wheel.
This is a picture of my scissors. They are considered two wedges going in the opposite direction.
This is a picture of one of my door hinges. I wasn't sure what simple machine this was so I looked online and it said it was a second class lever.
This is a picture of my stairs. I also looked this one up on line and it said this was a Incline Plane.
I never thought about the things I use at home that are considered simple machines. Most of what I use makes my life so much easier.
