Best Answer - Chosen by VotersYou could support each end by two appropriate objects, like two stacks of books, or the backs of two chairs, etc.

Then you could hang different masses on it, at the center (you'd probably have to borrow them from your teacher) and then record the mass at which it snaps.

Or instead of the masses, you could get a small pail or something similar, and suspend it from the center of the supported toothpick. Then slowly add send to the little pail, and when the toothpick snaps, record the mass of the pail and the sand together.
