This phenomenal website is all about levers. The website provides information about levers and how we use them everyday. It also has an awesome interactive challenge that requires Shockwave. The interactive is a challenge to use a lever to raise one end of an obelisk three feet off the ground. There is a teacher's guide that provides a detailed lesson plan. Check it out! Be sure to look at the non-Shockwave version.

tag(s): newton (23)

In the Classroom

Use this site with your interactive whiteboard or projector to help your students gain a better understanding of levers and their use in everyday life. After reading about common levers we use everyday, ask them if they can think of others.
