LEVERS!

Identify a lever and write a response about it.  This lever could be something you find in your house or something you've seen in everyday life.  You may not use a seesaw as an example!

2. Tell us why it is a lever.  You must JUSTIFY why it is a lever.  There are four main parts to a lever: the fulcrum, the arm, the load, and the effort. Does it have all these parts?

If you RESPECTFULLY disagree with someone's post, you should tell them! However, make sure you are polite, and you must DEFEND your opinion!
