In the Grade 2 project, Simple Machines, students learned all about the wheel and axle. Levers are another kind of simple machine that help people to lift heavy things. Levers need something called a ‘fulcrum’ to balance on. A fun kind of lever is the seesaw! 

Try it yourself!

　For the pictures below, draw in which direction the seesaws will go. The first one is done for you!
