Levers are a simple machine that help us make work easier. But how do they work and how can you make one to help you? Check out this episode with Squeaks and Jessi to learn all about levers!
Simple machines have been helping people to do work for thousands of years! The lever, wheel and axle, pulley, inclined plane, wedge, and screw each have a job to do. Some amplify force, some change its direction, and some reduce friction or create mechanical advantage. ACTIVITIES 1. What are the 3 simple machines Archimedes identified more than 2000 years ago? 2.

Flowers are the reproductive structures in a plant. Flower has sepal, petals, stamens and pistil. Stamen is the male reproductive part and pistil is the female reproductive part. Stamen has a stalk like structure called filament and anther. Anther contains the pollen grains which are the male gametes. Pistil contains the ovary, style and stigma. The ovary contains ovules. The egg which is the female gamete is formed in the ovule. Sexual reproduction in plants also involves the fusion of male and female gametes to form a zygote.
