Inclined planes, like ramps, allow us to move objects to higher or lower levels without lifting them straight up.The inclined plane reduces effort by creating mechanical advantage. They're handy for loading trucks, pushing wheelchairs, and even climbing stairs! 🚚

Meet the ultimate force multiplier! Levers help us lift heavy objects with less effort. From seesaws in the park to crowbars in construction, levers are everywhere! Can you think of any levers you've encountered recently?

The wheel and axle combination helps us move objects with ease. Just think of bicycles, cars, and even doorknobs! How about the Ferris Wheel at the Fair 🚴‍♂️

A pulley is like a magical helper that uses a wheel and a rope to make lifting things easier. When you pull down on one end of the rope, the object attached to the other end moves up effortlessly. It's like having your own super strength!

The wedge has a simple machine twin, can you guess it? The inclined plane! A wedge is made up of 2 inclined planes and can be used to separate two objects or portions of an object, lift up an object, or hold an object in place. hubs.ly/Q01Z85K90

We got down to monkey business at our One & Only Ivan STEAM night! 🦍 Students built Kid Spark Education ROK block bridges to get Ivan & friends across the road. They used weights to test the bridges strength. Sphero Education Indi bots helped get Ivan & Ruby from the mall to the zoo. #bpsne
