Tops
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners discover that some things only stand up while they are spinning.
Soaring Towers: Building with Recycled Materials
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will build the highest tower they can out of recycled materials.
Lightest and Heaviest: Sorting Algorithms
Source Institutions
Computers are often used to put lists into some sort of order—for example, names into alphabetical order, appointments or e-mail by date, or items in numerical order.
Vestibular-Ocular Reflex
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will perform various investigations to understand the vestibular-ocular reflex and learn about the importance of visual cues in maintaining balance.
Symmetry of Butterfly Wings
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate balance and symmetry by designing a symmetrical butterfly, using a paper cutout.
Balance Challenge
Source Institutions
In this quick activity, learners take a balance challenge to measure their average balance time. As they collect data, they investigate how practice and repetition improve their balance time.
Gravity and Muscles
Source Institutions
In this activity about center of gravity (page 23 of PDF), learners investigate how the body adjusts to the force of gravity to remain balanced.
Make a Balance / Scale
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create a kind of balance device using a wire coat hanger, some string, and paper cups.
Building with Wonderful Junk
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 4), learners work in groups to plan and build large structures using recyclable materials they have brought from home.
Mission: Control!
Source Institutions
In this activity and game, learners will train to improve balance and spatial awareness by performing throwing and catching techniques on one foot.
Fitness Factor
Source Institutions
In this online activity, learners partner up to complete several physical exercises and assess their starting fitness level.
Balancing Act
Source Institutions
In this physics activity (page 6 of the PDF), learners will build a class 1 lever and hypothesize and test the distances two objects need to be placed from the fulcrum in order to balance.
Balanced Budget Chemistry
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners balance chemical equations and discover the law of conservation of mass. Learners use coins to model molecules to balance the equations.
