Exploring Simple Machines in Everyday Objects

Jared from Fun Science Demos introduces the concept of 'I Try Science' by comparing it to the 'I Spy' book series, emphasizing that science is all around us. He explores simple machines using everyday kitchen objects, identifying wedges, wheel and axle, lever, and inclined plane. The video encourages viewers to find simple machines in their daily lives, highlighting how science makes tasks easier.
