Editors' Notes

Made with Tinybop’s usual charm and polish, Simple Machines distills difficult ideas into fun hands-on lessons. Spin giant screws, crack open icy boulders and use levers to bombard cartoon castles—all while learning about real-world physics.

It's fun

I bought 7apps from you. It's good and informative

yawn

The concept is sound, but it is not worth the price. The activities are half-baked. They illustrate the simple machines, but not in a way that leads to understanding any more than random chance would. I would not recommend this to anyone of any age.
