Our Science unit right now is "Balancing and Weighing". Today we got to explore balancing cubes on a beam balance. The kids really liked this activity. I gave them basic instructions on how one could use the beam balance and then let them go to discover on their own. Key Vocabulary: fulcrum, beam, balance
What we discovered...
"You put some blocks on until they are balanced" Mark
"I balanced 9 with 0!" Rome
"Be careful on putting the block on because it could tip on the side." Keira
"I put my blocks in order so they did not fall." Catherine
"I put blocks on and it was balancing." Almoine
