Home Appliances!

Did you know that you can discover the machines in your… house?

Machines are an integral part of our daily lives! The first engines were  operated manually, and later on with the power of animals, air and water. Today, most of them run on electricity, providing  valuable assistance in almost all of our work.

How many machines are hidden in your home?

Use a piece of paper and decide which room you’d start your research from. Explore the room carefully and write down the machines you find. Did you draw them already? Experiment and find out how they work. How do they get started? How many parts do they have? Use different color paper for each room!

Have a good exploration!

#Tips

  • Remember that some machines are too small (such as a remote control!) or simpler (such as a hammer!)
  • Download the Museum leaflet, if you want to complete it: [Greek] [English]
  • Search everywhere you like to find out who is the inventor of each machine.
