Description

Actualconcepts is one of the leadinginteractive educational content publisher on Edmodo platform. Appsfrom Actual Concepts are designed to provide interactive educationthrough fun. This App helps in interactively exploring SimpleMachines and their applications using real time simulations (Thelist of simulations and activities that can be performed on thesimulations are given below).

The simulations are highly touch enabled and are designedgame-like so that people would love to play around with thesimulations and at the same time can gain a deeper understanding ofScience concepts. At the same time these simulations raise theinquisitiveness and help to experiment and find solutions like -"Do you know how a simple Lever can be used as a weighing machine,that too you should be able to measure any amount of load withhaving just only a single 1kg weight with you? Perform thissimulation and its so easy to figure this out yourself!"

Each simulation also has a detailed list of activities that canbe performed on the simulation. Once the activity is performed youcan verify your answers for the activites performed. You can touchand alter several parameters like the fulcrum position, weight,effort applied, angle of incline, number of pulleys, radius ofwheel and axle.

The simulations in this App are designed very carefully to mimicthe real world scenarios. For example if more effort is required tolift a load, then you have to drag the simple machine arm to alarger extent to apply greater force.

You can touch and drag to apply forces and find out the requiredforce using various simple machines like Pulley, Inclined Plane,Lever, Wheel & Axle.

Unlike most of the apps that are present out there, this Appoffers highly interactive simulations that are real time and highlytouch enabled to play around with. This App is a must for yourreference 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 effort required tolift the load with these varying parameters.
2. Inclined Plane - You can interactively alter the angle ofincline, increase the load, vary the effort to help load thetruck.
3. Pulley Systems - Single/Fixed - Understand how a single fixedpulley functions. Find out if you get any mechanical advantage ofsuch system. If there is no Mechanical Advantage, why do we use it?Find that out while performing this experiment.
4. Single Movable, 1 Fixed + 1 Movable - Understand single MovablePulley. Find out which is better while performing this experiment?Movable or Fixed pulley?
5. 2 Fixed + 2 Movable - What happens when you increase the numberof pulleys and make it a mixed pulley system containing both fixedand movable pulleys? Do you gain more advantage? But then what doyou trade off? You can interactively perform the simulation andlearn yourself!
6. Wheel & Axle - How does the heavy front tires of a car/truckturn effortlessly when the steering can be moved with a singlehand? Perform this activity and you will know the principle behindthis!
7. How to Use Lever as Weighing Balance - Do you know how a simpleLever can be used as a weighing machine that too you should be ableto measure any load with just only a single 1kg weight with you?Perform this simulation and its so easy to figure this outyourself!
8. Understand how gears function using a set of interactivesimulations
9. See how a screw is a wrapped inclined plane from an intuitivesimulation
