...  Gravity is the force between two objects, simply due to their mass. It's a relatively weak force, so we don't notice the gravitational force between two pencils. But the Earth is very heavy, so we notice ...
... light objects (like a flat sheet of paper) are slowed down more by air resistance than are smaller, smoother objects. Objectives Students will be able to: Describe gravitational force, and how ...
We unconsciously balance objects every day, but rarely think about the conditions that must take place to achieve balance. In this activity, students define an object's centre of gravity by balancing a ...
Almost everyone flails their arms when they're trying to maintain their balance. Why do our brains react this way? In this series of balance games, students discover how their bodies compensate when their ...

Finding the centre of gravity of an irregular-shaped object is trickier than for a ruler or other regular shape. In this activity, students use the force of gravity to deduce the centre of gravity for ...
In this exploration, students are given washers and wire to help stabilize a pencil on their finger. They use the principles learned in previous activities in order to solve the challenge. Introduction ...
In this activity, students witness a trick that appears to defy logic. By examining the object's centre of gravity and its base of support, the physics behind the illusion is unveiled. Introduction ...
...  Generally describe what a force is, and name some common forces. Describe gravitational force, and how this force pulls objects towards the Earth at the same rate, regardless of mass. Describe ...
You don't have to be a tightrope walker to do balancing tricks, but you do have to understand the role of an object's centre of gravity. In the following activities, students explore the conditions necessary ...
