My daughter, who is in first grade, gave me a 15 minute lesson on fulcrums and levers. She even included a demonstration explaining how the fulcrum has to be in the middle if the loads are equal and it has to be closer to the heavier load if they aren't equal because the lighter load will feel heavier the more distance between it and the fulcrum. I kid you not, I'm not sure what there is going to be left to learn by the time she gets to high school.
