                                                     Lift a Toy Using a Lever

                 To observe how a lever helps us lift things easily.
                 Materials Required:

                    A ruler or stick

                    A pencil

                    A small toy




                 Follow the given steps to create it:





                  STEP - 1    Put the pencil on the table. This acts as the
                               fulcrum (the balance point).








                                                       STEP - 2    Lay the ruler on top of the pencil. Place the
                                                                    toy on one end of the ruler.







                  STEP - 3    Gently press the other end of the ruler.
                                Watch how your toy lifts up!







                                                      STEP - 4    Slide the pencil to a new spot and see what
                                                                    happens. Is it easier or harder to lift the toy?
