In this activity, learners explore center of gravity, or balance point, of stacked blocks.

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 explore the properties of paper by constructing and modifying paper airplanes.

In this activity, learners create a tornado in a bottle to observe a spiraling, funnel-shaped vortex. A simple connector device allows water to drain from a 2-liter bottle into a second bottle.

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

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.
