Play with objects on a teeter totter to learn about balance. Test what you've learned by trying the Balance Challenge game.
The primary aims of the lab are:
1) Predict how objects of various masses can be used to make a plank balance,

Why does a balloon stick to your sweater? Rub a balloon on a sweater, then let go of the balloon and it flies over and sticks to the sweater. View the charges in the sweater, balloons, and the wall.
Learning goals
With this remote experiment students will understand the principle of objects floating and sinking in liquids, study the Archimedes Principle – displacement of liquids by floated objects, weight in liquids, buoyancy force.
You will see that there is a difference between reality and theory.
In Splash students can create objects from object properties like mass, volume, and density, and drop these objects in a tube filled with a fluid.
