Learners explore the concepts of equilibrium and center of mass by seeing how non-symmetrical objects balance.

In this activity, learners will build the highest tower they can out of recycled materials.

In this science trick, learners get an egg to stand-up on its long-axis vertical to a table's top.

In this design challenge activity, learners build a device to carry a Ping-Pong ball from the top of a zip line to the bottom in four seconds (or less!).

This online simulation game explores the different consequences of water levels on the Columbia River in the Pacific Northwest.

In this activity, learners make mobiles to explore the concepts of balance, counterbalance, weight, and counterweight.

In this quick and simple activity, learners explore how the distribution of the mass of an object determines the position of its center of gravity, its angular momentum, and your ability to balance it

In this activity and/or demonstration, learners illustrate visually and physically that air has weight. Learners balance two equally-inflated balloons hanging from string on a yard stick.

In this activity and game, learners will train to improve balance and spatial awareness by performing throwing and catching techniques on one foot.

A simple, yet fun activity that lets learners find the center of balance of a ruler (or any long thin object). Developed by the Exploratorium and no assembly needed.
