ROUND AND ROUND
The wheel is one of the most important inventions in history. About 5,500 years ago potters used the first
wheels to make clay pots. They put wet clay on a wooden wheel. Then they turned the wheel to make a nice
round pot. Before people had wheels to move heavy objects, they used rollers. The rollers were made from
tree trunks. Then people made carts and chariots with wooden wheels. They connected the wheels with a
long bar called an axle.
Today there are lots of machines with wheels. We can see wheels on cars, bicycles, and skateboards. There
are also wheelchairs for people who can't walk easily. Can you think of more machines that have wheels?
Discover! The London Eye is a very big wheel. It's 135 meters high! You get a great view of
London from the top!

THE FIRST MACHINES
People invented the first machines a long time ago. They were simple tools made of stone, wood, or bone.
About two million years ago people made stone axes with wooden handles. They used these tools to cut
wood. People also used stone and animal bone to make knives and arrows. To shoot their arrows they used
bows made with long pieces of wood.
People used simple levers to move heavy objects like rocks. They put one end of a long stick of wood under
a big rock, and they put a small rock under the stick. When they pushed on the other end of the stick, the big
rock moved.
About 7,000 years ago people started farming for food. They invented new machines, like plows, and used
animals to make work easier. Some farmers used long levers to get water from rivers. They also built canals
to get water for their plants.
About 5,000 years ago people started making metal tools. These tools were better than stone or bone tools.
