Science Week Experiment

13th Nov 2018

On Tuesday we carried out four activities looking at our centre of gravity!

It was called the Can You Balance Experiment.

Here is what we learnt.


- Our balance point is also called our centre of gravity.
- It needs to stay over our feet.
- It is roughly located behind the belly button.
- The four activities were:
1. Sitting straight on a chair trying to get up without leaning forward.
2. Standing with our back and heels against the wall trying to pick up a coin without falling.
3. Standing with one foot, one shoulder and our head touching the wall while trying to lift our other leg.
4. Standing with our two feet apart with our feet, both shoulders and head against the wall while trying to lift one leg.
