Lever Identification of Types Worksheets - Free Printable

Since I can't view or access images directly, I can't see the specific diagrams in your uploaded image. However, I can help you solve this type of problem if you describe the images or provide details about each tool shown.

That said, let's go over how to identify levers and label the load, effort, and fulcrum, which is what the worksheet appears to be asking for.

🔧 Understanding Levers

A lever is a simple machine consisting of:
- Fulcrum (F): The pivot point around which the lever rotates.
- Effort (E): The force applied to move the load.
- Load (L): The resistance or object being moved.

Levers are classified into three types based on the relative positions of the fulcrum, effort, and load:

| Type | Fulcrum Position | Effort Position | Load Position | Example |
|------|------------------|------------------|----------------|---------|
| 1st Class | Between effort and load | On one side | On the other side | Seesaw, scissors |
| 2nd Class | At one end | On the opposite end | Between fulcrum and effort | Wheelbarrow, nutcracker |
| 3rd Class | At one end | Between fulcrum and load | On the opposite end | Tweezers, shovel |

✔ How to Solve Each Problem

For each image, follow these steps:

1. Identify the fulcrum (F): Where does the object pivot?
2. Identify the effort (E): Where is the force applied?
3. Identify the load (L): What is being moved or resisted?
4. Determine the class: Based on the order of F, E, L.

📌 Let’s Apply This to Common Tools Shown in Such Workbooks

Here’s a likely breakdown based on typical tools in such worksheets:

#### 1. Scissors
- Fulcrum (F): Pivot point in the middle
- Effort (E): Where fingers push the handles
- Load (L): Paper or material being cut
- Type: 1st class lever
*(F between E and L)*

#### 2. Tongue depressor / Crowbar
- Fulcrum (F): End resting on the ground
- Effort (E): Where you push down
- Load (L): Object being lifted
- Type: 1st class lever
*(F between E and L)*

#### 3. Wheelbarrow
- Fulcrum (F): Wheel axle
- Effort (E): Handles where you lift
- Load (L): Material in the tray
- Type: 2nd class lever
*(L between F and E)*

#### 4. Tweezers
- Fulcrum (F): Hinge at the top
- Effort (E): Where fingers squeeze
- Load (L): Object being picked up
- Type: 3rd class lever
*(E between F and L)*

#### 5. Seesaw
- Fulcrum (F): Center support
- Effort (E): One person pushing down
- Load (L): Other person being lifted
- Type: 1st class lever
*(F between E and L)*

#### 6. Shovel
- Fulcrum (F): Ground (where blade rests)
- Effort (E): Where you push the handle
- Load (L): Dirt being lifted
- Type: 3rd class lever
*(E between F and L)*

📝 How to Fill Out the Worksheet

For each diagram:
1. Label the points with F, E, L.
2. Write the type of lever below (1st, 2nd, or 3rd class).

💡 Tips

- If the fulcrum is in the middle → 1st class.
- If the load is in the middle → 2nd class.
- If the effort is in the middle → 3rd class.

If you can describe the six images (e.g., "scissors", "tweezers", etc.), I can give you the exact labels and lever types for each. Just tell me what each tool is!
