DESCRIPTION:
Provides examples to describe levers as simple machines used to lift, push, or move a load. Includes an activity.

Lisa R. said Four Stars. Great addition to my simple machines unit. Hopefully, my student like it, too.. "Basic introduction to levers only, no math." according to Corkybea.

Five Stars Well done and a great way to explain examples for preschool.
