Let's use a wheel!
- Place two chairs back to back, about 1 foot apart. Rest the broom stick across the two slats of the chair.
- Tie a 1 foot length of string to the pail handle. Tape the free end of the string to the middle of the broom handle.
- Place some pennies in the pail to add wight.
- Turn the broom handle with your hands to raise the pail in the air. Turn it back the other way to return it to the ground.
- Tape the ruler straight up and down to the broom handle near one end.
- Use the ruler, which acts as a wheel, to turn the broom handle and lift the pail.
