How a Lever works

 Today our class were talking about how to use a lever and I will tell you about. As you can see a picture of how a lever works. The thing on top is called a load, a load is always on top so we could test how heavy it is. The long stick is called a lever, a lever holds the load so it stays still and the bottom is called Fulcrum. The thing that makes it go down is your effort.If you put the fulcrum in the front, it would not go down, but if you put the fulcrum next to the load it will go all the way down to touch the surface. Even when you use your pinkie or thumb it would go straight down
