The lever

We partnered up to create and label the three parts of a lever. 

After we agreed on the position and name of each object, we drew our work in our simple machine books.  

We discovered that the closer the fulcrum is to the load you are moving, the easier it is to move it.  You use less effort and force with the fulcrum closer to the load.  Great discovery scientists!
