Episode Description

A simple machine is a tool that helps us do work. They use clever shapes to help us move, lift, cut, and other types of work. Join hosts Evie and Garrett as they learn about the six simple machines from Kathryn Devine, from the College of Idaho, and John Gardner, from Boise State University.

Kids have lots of questions about science. Hosts Evie and Garrett are here to help. On episodes of the Science Trek Podcast, scientists answer elementary-age students' questions on a variety of science topics. The podcasts pair perfectly with the website, ScienceTrek.org, where kids, parents and educators can find videos, facts, games, teacher resources, lesson plans, 360° immersive videos and more! Science Trek is produced by Idaho Public Television, a trusted source for children's educational content.
