Try rowing the oars of your rowboat. As you pull the oars toward you, which way do they push against the water? Which way do the oars make the rowboat move?
Make sure you’re facing the correct way to move the rowboat forward, point first.
Does the rowboat move the same direction as the oars when they are pushing against the water? What does this tell you about the effort and resistance applied to this lever?
What simple machines are included in this project?
