In this activity, learners build a carousel toy that spins when pushed down.

Groups of learners are provided with a generic car base and an egg. Their mission: design a device/enclosure to protect the egg on or in the car as it rolls down a ramp with increasing slopes.

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

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

In this activity, learners will explore their center of gravity.

In this activity, learners are challenged to design and construct a trophy for prize-winning sports equipment.

In this activity, learners string a line across the room and build cable cars that can move from on end to the other.

In this activity, learners build unique yo-yos, which spin round and round without moving up and down.

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.
