Mission 41 · Learning through making
The Fulcrum Flip
Build a lever launcher and discover how a fulcrum changes the work.
A completed lever launcher ready for testing.
A heavy bucket of bricks concealed a message from the story. Instead of relying only on strength, the children explored how a lever could help move the load.
They built launchers with yardsticks, cups, screws, and adult support for the drills. After testing, the group returned to the heavy bucket and changed the position of the fulcrum. The connection between effort, position, and movement became something they could feel.
