This week we started learning about balance. We did two different experiments to explore balance, use counterweights and discover what makes a stable position.
In the first lesson we used trick crayfish and clothespins, or the scientific term - counterweights. We discovered there were many ways to balance the crayfish.

| Trick Crayfish! |

| Balanced! |
 |
| Concentration! |
In the second lesson we used a triangle and arch along with counterweights to explore what makes a stable position. We discovered the counterweights need to be near or below the balance point.

| Stable! |

| Working together! |
Next week we will experiment with mobiles and do a science rotation to learn from the other Second grade teachers!
