Levers Kit

The Levers Kit contains five systems complete with 15 x 10g mass carriers.  Students should arrange the apparatus as shown in the picture by passing the pivot rod through one pair of holes in the lever saddle. Slotted masses are arranged on the carriers in various combinations to achieve balance and the rules concerning amount and position are elicited. Each carrier has a mass of 10 g and is therefore equivalent to one slotted mass. The provided photo-copiable worksheet can be used if appropriate or others created to guide the students in their investigation. Each system will require a set of slotted masses (Not Included).
