1º ESO SIMPLE MACHINES

The lever is simple machine made up of a stiff arm or arms that pivots or turns.  The point that a lever turns on is called the fulcrum. The load is the force of the thing you are trying to move.  Over 2000 years ago, a Greek scientist named Archimedes (ark a MEE dees) figured out how and why levers worked.  People had been using levers for a long time, but he was the first to explain them using math.  Legend credits Archimedes with saying, "With a big enough lever, you can move the world." 

The pulley is a simple machine made of a rope or chain wrapped around the wheel. A movable pulley reduces the amount of force needed to lift an object by object by increasing the distance over which the force is applied. The useful pulley is one of the earliest and simplest wheel devices.  Back in the eighth century B.C., the country that is now Syria may have discovered that a small wheel within a frame made it easier to pull up a heavy weight hanging from a rope running over the wheel.  Engineers in ancient times used this knowledge to their advantage in the construction of many monuments and temples.

Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,

If you can make one -------of all your winnings

SI
Si puedes llevar la cabeza sobre los hombros
bien puesta,... cuando otros la pierden y de ello
te culpan;
Si puedes confiar en tí cuando todos de tí dudan, ...
pero tomas en cuenta sus dudas;
Si puedes esperar sin que te canse la espera,
o soportar calumnias sin pagar con la misma
moneda,
o ser odiado sin dar cabida al odio, ...
y no por eso parecer demasiado bueno o sabio;

Si puedes soñar sin que tus sueños te dominen;
Si puedes pensar sin que tus pensamientos sean
tu meta;
Si puedes habértelas con Triunfo y Desastre
y tratar por igual a ambos farsantes;
Si puedes tolerar que los bribones
tergiversen la verdad que has expresado
y la convierten en trampa para necios,
o ver en ruinas la obra de tu vida
y agacharte y reconstruirla con viejas
herramientas;

Si puedes hacer un atado con todas tus
ganancias
y arrojarlas al capricho del azar,
y perderlas y volver a empezar desde el principio
sin que salga de tus labios una queja;
Si puedes poner al servicio de tus fines el corazón,
el entusiasmo y la fortaleza, aún agotados,
Y resistir aunque no te quede ya nada..,
Salvo la voluntad que te diga ¨Adelante!¨;

Si puedes dirigirte a las multitudes sin perder la
virtud,
y codearte con reyes sin perder la sencillez;
Si no pueden herirte amigos ni enemigos;
Si todos cuentan contigo en demasía;
Si puedes llenar el implacable minuto,
con sesenta segundos de esfuerzo denodado,
Tuya es la Tierra y cuanto en ella hay,
Y más aún, Serás un hombre, hijo mío!
Rudyard Kipling

PROPERTIES OF METALS AND NON METALS

METALS AND NON-METALS

There are about 118 elements, 107 of which are naturally occurring. Metals and non-metals are characterized by distinctly different physical and chemical properties. At present about 80 metals are known to us. Metals can be shaped like clay, are heat-resistant, and are not fragile.

Though the non-metals are only 22 in number, they are the major constituents of earth, air and oceans. At room temperature, over half of the non-metals are gases, except bromine, which is a liquid. The most abundant non-metal in the earth's crust is oxygen, which constitutes about 50% of the earth's crust and along with nitrogen it forms the main constituents of air. The next abundant non metal is silicon which constitutes about 26% of the earths crust. Oxygen and silicon are the two major constituents of earth. Hydrogen and oxygen are the two major constituents of the oceans.

Position of Metals and Non-metals in the Periodic Table

One can easily differentiate between metals and non-metals based on their placement on the Periodic Table of the Elements. Metals occupy the groups on the left of the periodic table. Group IA consists of highly reactive metals called the alkali metals, while group 22 elements are called alkaline earth metals. Elements between group IIA and IIIA are all called transition metals. The Various Kinds of Metals are as shown below: The non-metals are elements (with the exception of hydrogen) that are found to the right on the Periodic Table i.e., groups IIIA, IVA and VA. The non-metallic character of these elements increases from top to the bottom of the group. For example, in group VA the first and second members are non-metals, the third and fourth are metalloids and the last member is a metal. The metalloids are a group of elements which have properties similar to both the metals and non-metals. These metalloids are: Boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony, tellurium and astatine. The non-metals are elements found to the right of these metalloids, including the element, hydrogen.
