						Machines help us get work done; some are complex, with lots of moving parts, and others are simple. Cams are one example of a simple machine. They are like gears, but have no teeth and come in lots of different shapes. We use them to convert rotating motion (such as turning a crank) into back and forth motion (such as waving an arm). 0

						Architects design several versions of a building, bridge, or structure before deciding on the final version. They work together with engineers to ensure that the design is buildable, that the design meets safety standards, and that it will satisfy the project requirements. 0
