I'll give you a hint:
It's the lock to one of our pocket doors.
The bolt (bottom left) was frozen.
Some crusty residue I scraped off unfroze it,

It's that silver piece with the hole in it that should be over a pivot point (fulcrum).
The kiddos spotted the problem right away.
We had fun taking apart the lock and actually seeing how all the parts work.
What do you have in your house that you can take a part
and turn into a science lesson?
