Seesaw lever: the balance rule
A heavy load close to the pivot balances a light one far away. An interactive lever model for kids 8+: torque and balance.
Interactive experiments for kids, students and teachers. Run each one right on the page, then open a copy in the Tymora editor and change mass, friction, elasticity or gravity. Every experiment comes with discussion questions and a version to try at home.
