A lever is a long rod (bone) which moves about the pivot (joint). Levers are used when a small force needs to lift a heavy force. 
What are some more examples of levers in the human body?

some examples of first class levers are a sea-saw, scissors and pliers. First class levers are used in everyday life to help make things easier, for example lifting heavy things or cutting though objects.

some examples are a wheelbarrow and a bottle opener. 
What is some more examples of second class levers?

However there are a few examples of first and second class levers within the human body. 
Can you name a first, second and third class lever with in the body and state what is the fulcrum, load and force?]]> 2019-05-24 03:43:36 UTC https://padlet.com/jhaw418/5jcb8z1rjhgi/wish/363158280 Here are some more videos to help explain the concepts of levers jhaw418 https://padlet.com/jhaw418/5jcb8z1rjhgi/wish/363160610 2019-05-24 03:59:55 UTC https://padlet.com/jhaw418/5jcb8z1rjhgi/wish/363160610 jhaw418 https://padlet.com/jhaw418/5jcb8z1rjhgi/wish/363161094 2019-05-24 04:02:57 UTC https://padlet.com/jhaw418/5jcb8z1rjhgi/wish/363161094 jhaw418 https://padlet.com/jhaw418/5jcb8z1rjhgi/wish/363161803 2019-05-24 04:07:39 UTC https://padlet.com/jhaw418/5jcb8z1rjhgi/wish/363161803 jhaw418 https://padlet.com/jhaw418/5jcb8z1rjhgi/wish/363161842 2019-05-24 04:07:55 UTC https://padlet.com/jhaw418/5jcb8z1rjhgi/wish/363161842
