Balancing Buddies

Explore the concept of center of gravity with this fun experiment! Using only a cork, skewers, toothpicks, and clay, we will be creating balancing buddies that balance on the tip of your finger. Kids are invited to play around with the design, iterate, and get their buddy to stay at equilibrium. They can also decorate their buddy and take it home with them!
