Six shapes do nearly all the lifting in the world. The lever, the pulley, the wedge, the screw, the inclined plane and the wheel and axle share this grid with the fulcrum a seesaw pivots on and the ramp, wheelbarrow and nutcracker that put them to work. It's a solid fit for a physical-science unit.
