In Science we are learning about balance and motion. Yesterday we used clothes pins as counterweights and balanced a "crayfish" made from tagboard. The kids had a wonderful time exploring and trying to find where the clothes pin needed to be for the "crayfish" to balance perfectly.
Today I gave the class a new challenge. They had to balance a pencil, on its point (standing up) on a craft stick that was taped to their desks. They had a pencil, a piece of wire, and 2 clothes pins to help them. They had to figure out how to use these things to make their pencil balance on its point . They had so much fun trying to figure this out. After a few minutes of letting them experiment, I showed them how to do it. They loved it!
