    About this ebook

    What do a doorstop, a butter knife, and the front of a boat have in common? All of them are wedges! Wedges are simple machines. They help us to do jobs more easily.

As part of the Searchlight Books™ collection, this series sheds light on a key science question―How Do Simple Machines Work? Hands-on experiments, interesting photos, and useful diagrams will help you find the answer!
