📖 How Levers Multiply Force

A lever is a rigid bar that pivots around a fulcrum. Moving the fulcrum changes the distances on each side. A longer effort arm can reduce the force needed to lift a load. The tradeoff is that the effort side usually moves through a greater distance.

1. What key idea begins the explanation?

 

2. What mechanism or supporting detail is described?

 

3. What additional evidence or effect is given?

 

4. How does the final detail deepen the explanation?

 

✏️ Writing

Write 1–2 developed paragraphs explaining how levers multiply force. Use evidence and cause-and-effect reasoning.

➕ Math

1. 25 × 34 = ______
2. 457 × 6 = ______
3. Estimate 25 × 34 by rounding both numbers: ______
