The children explored the concepts of levers and pivots, learning that a lever is a tool that turns on a pivot to make a job easier, and that a pivot is the fixed point that allows the lever to move. They then enjoyed using a variety of classroom objects to create their own levers and pivots, experimenting with how they work. Afterwards, the children worked in groups to form human levers, helping them to understand how movement around a pivot makes lifting or moving things easier.
