Levers

A Lever Makes work easier because you don't pull the load, you push on the other end of the load.


Parts of a lever: Load- the thing that you are trying to lift, Fulcrum- the thing that the lever arm pivots on, Lever Arm- the bar that you apply effort on, Effot- the place that you push on.


Levers give you an advantage because you do not have to lift the load.


Examples:
 bottle opener,
 arm,
 paddle,
 broom,
 fishing rod, 
nail clippers, 
sling,
 spoon,
 and much more!!!


Dictionary Definition: a rigid bar that pivots about one point and that is used to move an object at a second point by a force applied at a third.
