Balance and Motion - Investigation 1 - Balance

In science we started our Balance and Motion Unit. The students are first investigating Balance. During the Investigation 1, the students discovered many ways to balance two-dimensional shapes. Next they found ways to balance a pencil on its point, in stable positions. During these lessons, the students explored the concepts of balance, counterbalance, counterweight, and stability by balancing tagboard shapes, making mobiles and engaging in other balancing projects.
