Today, we are showing you a fun activity you can try at home with your family or friends. Do you think you can pull someone who is much stronger than you? With science, of course you can! We are going to show you how you can create a simple pulley at home, and different ways you can experiment with pulleys.
When you’re all done, we would love to see your results! Share your pictures and videos with us using #ScienceAtPlay.
