...about balance...

There are 10 clips on the balance thing (Mark, Angelo, Collin, Alejandra)

We used everything to make our balancing board out of shapes and clips.  It looks fantastic.  We all agreed and worked together. (Yara, Kendrick, Andrew, Rodney) 

We made something.  It is heavy.  It has a lot of clips.  We used 5 ‘C’s and we balanced it on our finger. (from Savannah’s group)

  2. What a fun way to learn about balance.
    Do you think 10 pounds of pencils and 10 pounds of staples would balance?
    Let me know what you think the answer is.

  3. I think it will balance because the weights are the same on both sides. Yesterday we used counterbalance. We had wires and clips and since the clips were the same weight, when we put the pencil between them, the pencil balanced.
