The hypothesis is that it will be easiest to lift the weight when the resistance arm is shorter than the effort arm.

You will pound a nail into a 2x4 stud, try to remove the nail without using a hammer, and then use the hammer as a lever to remove the nail. You will also arrange the fulcrum, effort arm, and resistance arm in different ways to find out which arrangement makes it easiest to lift a weight.

You will need a hammer, a nail, a 2 foot long 2x4 stud, 10-12 meter sticks, 10-12 heavy weights, and 10-12 sturdy plastic mugs.

The results showed that it was easiest to lift the weight when the resistance arm was shorter than the effort arm. This observation stands out because it shows that the length of the lever can have a big impact on how easy it is to lift a weight.

This science project is interesting and unique because it shows how the length of a lever can have a big impact on how easy it is to lift a weight.

Experiment variations to consider include using different lengths of the lever and using different weights.
