This is a powerful concept taken for granted because it is extremely 'simple'. The difference we feel when using combinations of simple machine is quite exciting. In this workshop children will get to experience the effortlessness while using simple machines such as lever systems, pulleys etc. They will be given an overall view of concepts such as Effort, Load, Fulcrum, Friction, Weight etc. At the end of the day they will be able to identify simple machines in their everyday lives and put them to use to make everyday chore easier.
We will do experiments to demonstrate the concepts mentioned.
