This week in Science, we have been exploring how levers and pulleys give us a mechanical advantage when lifting loads. We used a glue stick as a fulcrum, along with a ruler as a lever arm to investigate how when the distance between the fulcrum and the effort increases, the effort needed to lift a load decreases.

Moving on to pulleys: we built our own with plastic bottles, card, string and a wooden skewer. We learnt that as the number of wheels, and the number of pieces of rope supporting the pulleys, increases, the effort needed to lift an object decreases, but the distance the rope has to be pulled increases.
