Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

The shovel that helps you dig a hole, the chopsticks you use at lunch, and some of the big machines we see when passing by construction sites are all examples of levers. This book takes a look at the simple machine behind these different objects, using everyday examples and kid-friendly experiments to illustrate the physics behind this fascinating simple machine. Easy-to-read text will encourage readers, while large, colorful photographs will illustrate the concepts at hand. Students will be interested to see the ways that they interact with levers on a daily basis, and further reading and websites will encourage them to seek additional information.

Includes index.
