Before moving onto motion, 2nd graders are using all their knowledge about balance, balancing points and counterweights to create a mobile that balances!
 |
| Rubber bands, paperclips, straws and paper! |
 |
It can be hard to get the rubber band in
the paperclip. |
 |
| The mobile moves so we draw on both sides of the paper. |
 |
In order for the mobile to be stable, the straw needs to
go through the small side of the paperclip. |
 |
Once the mobile is constructed, you have to
move the paper clips around to balance it! |
I went to the Guggenheim Museum last weekend and saw quite a few mobiles by Alexander Calder. If you find yourself on the upper east side, I highly recommend you stop by and marvel!
