Lifting with Levers!

Date: 17th Jun 2021 @ 4:12pm

We had a great afternoon learning about levers. The children were set the challenge of lifting Mr. Jones using only a brick and a plank of wood. No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't - until we moved the brick!  They were then able to lift Mr. Jones off the ground using only one hand. We learned that if you move the fulcrum nearer to the load, less effort is required to lift it.
