Top 4 Apps Similar to Simple Machines
Simple Machines 15
Actualconcepts is one of theleadinginteractive educational content publisher on Edmodoplatform. Appsfrom Actual Concepts are designed to provideinteractive educationthrough fun. This App helps in interactivelyexploring SimpleMachines and their applications using real timesimulations (Thelist of simulations and activities that can beperformed on thesimulations are given below).The simulations are highly touch enabled and aredesignedgame-like so that people would love to play around withthesimulations and at the same time can gain a deeper understandingofScience concepts. At the same time these simulations raisetheinquisitiveness and help to experiment and find solutions like-"Do you know how a simple Lever can be used as a weighingmachine,that too you should be able to measure any amount of loadwithhaving just only a single 1kg weight with you? Performthissimulation and its so easy to figure this out yourself!"Each simulation also has a detailed list of activities thatcanbe performed on the simulation. Once the activity is performedyoucan verify your answers for the activites performed. You cantouchand alter several parameters like the fulcrum position,weight,effort applied, angle of incline, number of pulleys, radiusofwheel and axle.The simulations in this App are designed very carefully tomimicthe real world scenarios. For example if more effort isrequired tolift a load, then you have to drag the simple machinearm to alarger extent to apply greater force.You can touch and drag to apply forces and find out therequiredforce using various simple machines like Pulley, InclinedPlane,Lever, Wheel & Axle.Unlike most of the apps that are present out there, thisAppoffers highly interactive simulations that are real time andhighlytouch enabled to play around with. This App is a must foryourreference library if you are Science enthusiast.The activity that can be done on the simulation are briefedbelow-1. Lever - You can position the fulcrum at various points,touchand drag to apply force and experiment with the effortrequired tolift the load with these varying parameters.2. Inclined Plane - You can interactively alter the angleofincline, increase the load, vary the effort to help loadthetruck.3. Pulley Systems - Single/Fixed - Understand how a singlefixedpulley functions. Find out if you get any mechanical advantageofsuch system. If there is no Mechanical Advantage, why do we useit?Find that out while performing this experiment.4. Single Movable, 1 Fixed + 1 Movable - Understand singleMovablePulley. Find out which is better while performing thisexperiment?Movable or Fixed pulley?5. 2 Fixed + 2 Movable - What happens when you increase thenumberof pulleys and make it a mixed pulley system containing bothfixedand movable pulleys? Do you gain more advantage? But then whatdoyou trade off? You can interactively perform the simulationandlearn yourself!6. Wheel & Axle - How does the heavy front tires of acar/truckturn effortlessly when the steering can be moved with asinglehand? Perform this activity and you will know the principlebehindthis!7. How to Use Lever as Weighing Balance - Do you know how asimpleLever can be used as a weighing machine that too you shouldbe ableto measure any load with just only a single 1kg weight withyou?Perform this simulation and its so easy to figure thisoutyourself!8. Understand how gears function using a set ofinteractivesimulations9. See how a screw is a wrapped inclined plane from anintuitivesimulation
