Man, during his evolutionary process, invented instruments that were useful workwise and for his survival. Some of these instruments are based on poorly designed, but very effective mechanisms, which we can call simple machines. The lever is one of those machines.
This activity comes under the program #cienciavivaathome. From the kitchen to the bathroom, even walking through the garage, no room was left out: after all, science is everywhere!
