Children will enjoy this fascinating book which uses the principles of Makerspace to introduce them to the wheel and axle. Simple text describes the structure and uses of wheels and axles, and clear, step-by-step instructions show children how to make their own. Readers are then provided with stategies to start their own creative projects using the wheel and axle they made. Along the way, tips and helpful hints guide children on how to brainstorm and solve problems working as a team.

Rolling Along explores the benefits and uses of the wheel and axle. RobbO and RobbEE build a cart to make it easier to move a heavy load, and learn how the wheel and axle are also used for lifting and turning.

Children will be thrilled to learn about the many uses of wheels and axles, from doorknobs to the insides of a clock. Inviting design and photos makes wheels and axles fun to learn about for young readers. Kids will love the fun with wheels section of this wonderful new book.

Have a Yabba-Dabba-Doo day with Fred Flintstone as he explains how a wheel and axle works Fred shows readers the Flintstone way of using simple machines in everyday situations.

In spite of all the assistance offered by electronic control systems, the latest generation of passenger car chassis still relies on conventional chassis elements. With a view towards driving dynamics, this book examines these conventional elements and their interaction with mechatronic systems. First, it describes the fundamentals and design of the chassis and goes on to examine driving dynamics with a particularly practical focus. This is followed by a detailed description and explanation of the modern components. A separate section is devoted to the axles and processes for axle development. With its revised illustrations and several updates in the text and list of references, this new edition already includes a number of improvements over the first edition.

The wheel and axle together is a simple machine. We see them all over the place. Without this simple machine we would not be able to drive to other places quickly, or go on a train. Find out all about this simple machine in this title.
