| Description | In this physics activity (page 6 of the PDF), learners will build a class 1 lever and hypothesize and test the distances two objects need to be placed from the fulcrum in order to balance. They will also describe the situation in mathematical terms. Although this activity was created as a pre-visit activity for a workshop about applications of levers, it also makes an excellent stand-alone activity! |
