This document outlines a lesson plan for students to investigate different types of levers and how the placement of the fulcrum affects the applied force and load. Students will work in groups to experiment with variable loads, forces, and fulcrum positions on different levers. The goal is for students to understand and use appropriate vocabulary related to forces and simple machines.
