Balance & Center of Gravity
Explore balance and stability through hands-on experiments. Test how weight distribution affects equilibrium in different shapes and structures. Covers physics of balance.
Recommended for ages 6-8
About This Kit
Investigate balance and center of gravity using various objects and weight distributions. Build balanced sculptures and test stability limits. Covers equilibrium, weight distribution, center of mass, and stability principles. Connects to human balance, animal adaptations, and structural engineering.
