Great choice, Junior Scientist! Today we're doing the "Lever Lift Challenge" experiment. Let me explain what we'll discover together. A lever multiplies your force. Moving the fulcrum closer to the heavy object gives you a longer push side โ€” so you can lift heavy things with less effort. That's how crowbars work!

๐Ÿงฐ Materials Needed

Ruler or strong stick
Small block (fulcrum)
Coins or small weights
Rubber eraser

๐Ÿ“‹ Setup Instructions

Place a block on the table and balance a ruler on it to make a seesaw.
