A seesaw is a kind of outdoor play equipment, the main structure is a long board, the middle frame on the fulcrum, people sit on both ends, the use of leverage, can make the two ends rise and fall alternately, to bring fun to the user.
A seesaw uses the principle of leverage to work. When the person at one end presses down, this end falls and the other end rises; then the person who presses down relaxes, and with the help of gravity and leverage, the end that was originally rising will come down, alternating between the ups and downs to give the people who are playing with it an up-and-down bobbing experience.
Seesaws still exist. Many traditional playgrounds around the world still have them, and although there are more and more high-tech rides, they are simple and fun, and are still common in parks, schools, playgrounds, and other places.
