Definition: A circular device capable of rotating on its axis, facilitating movement or transportation or performing labour in machines.
Alright class, settle down, letâs take a look!
That dictionary definition is quite thorough, isn't it? Letâs break it down and make it nice and clear.
âWheelsâ â itâs more than just a round thing you see! Itâs about
movement
, thatâs the key!
Think of a car, or a bike, so free,
Rolling along for all to see!
The dictionary is right, you see, let's unpack it with glee:
âCircular deviceâ
: That means itâs round, like a coin, you agree?
âRotating on its axisâ
: It spins and turns â a whirling spree! Like the Earth around, for all to be!
âFacilitating movement or transportationâ
: This is where it helps us go, a speedy ride, don't you know?
"Performing labour in machinesâ
: Sometimes wheels make things work, like a factoryâs jerk!
So, basically, a wheel lets something
roll
, and thatâs its main job. It can move people, it can move things, or help a machine do what it's meant to rob!
Does that make sense? Any questions about our spinning friends?
