Levers Worksheet
Three lever classes are compared through the positions of the fulcrum, load, and applied effort. It explains that the three classes differ according to the positions of the fulcrum, load, and applied effort. Diagrams show those components arranged for each class, followed by a matching task using lever examples. Learners must read spatial relationships in the diagrams and connect each configuration to a real machine rather than simply recall a definition.
