In this activity, challenge learners to make a pencil stand on its tip using only two pieces of wire and two clothespins. Use this activity to demonstrate the center of gravity.

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

In this activity, learners explore moving air and the physics of lift and drag by constructing homemade wind tunnels.

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

During this activity, learners take part in a variety of tasks which involve moving and balancing different body parts.

This is an activity about center of gravity. Learners will balance a fork on a glass by finding its center of gravity.

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.
