Balance and Motion, 2nd Grade Balances Crayfish!

We have started our new unit - Balance and Motion!  We tried different ways of balancing in the classroom.  We tried balancing on one foot, with our arms down, with our arms out, with our eyes shut.  We also tried to walk around the room balancing a cup on our head!

We tried balancing the cup upside down...



and right side up!

Balancing on one foot was tricky!

Balancing with our eyes closed was tricky!


And then, yes, we did try to balance a crayfish..made from tagboard!  First we needed to find the balancing point.



Then we used clothespins to see if that helped to balance the crayfish in new ways.  And it did!
