Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Pulleys are simple machines that have many uses, from lifting an injured boater into a rescue helicopter to drawing a bucket of water from a well! This book explains the science behind this helpful machine. Experiments, presented step-by-step and with photos, encourage students to engage with the pulleys in their own lives.
