Please go to this website and spend at least ten minutes there reading and understanding the information about the three different classes of levers.  Pay attention to the where the load is in relation to the fulcrum and the effort force: that will help you understand the three classes of lever

Then take this quiz.  You must click the green START button on the top of the page to take the quiz. 

When you have finished the quiz please comment on one question you got wrong.  Then comment on one thing  you learned.  You must not have the same comment as a previous poster...

  20. The question I got wrong was Question 11/13. The question was “What
    kind of lever system is a hockey stick?”. I put Class 2 but the real answer
    was Class 3 because the hockey stick is supported by the Fulcrum ( you ) and the effort is you moving it. The load must be at the other end from the Fulcrum so as to use the effort to move the load ( puck ). I learned that levers were first described about 260 BC by the ancient Greek mathematician Archimedes (287-212 BC).

  21. The question I got wrong was number 13. The question was ‘’ The
    farther from the fulcrum the effort is, the less effort is required to
    lift the load. ‘’ I clicked false but the answer was true. To decrease the force needed, the distance between the fulcrum and the effort must be increased. To increase this distance, the load must be close to the fulcrum and the effort must be used far from the fulcrum. If you increase the mechanical advantage you can use less effort to move the load.
