While learning about Simple Machines, we experimented with levers. We challenged ourselves to see if we could balance the lever on the fulcrum. We also experimented with lifting the same load but putting the fulcrum at different points to change the length of the load arm. We discovered that the closer the fulcrum is to the load, the easier it is to lift!
