About this worksheet
A five-page Year 5 knowledge check on levers, pulleys and gears, with answers. It starts with a sentence on smaller forces having a greater effect and four items to match, from a flagpole to a crowbar. Pupils label a lever diagram and decide where Amira should place the pivot. They explain a single fixed pulley and a crane's block and tackle. For gears, a 12-tooth and a 24-tooth wheel lead to questions on direction and turns. The last question is about Marcus cycling uphill in a low gear. It follows the England National Curriculum.
