Balance

January 14, 2011
Our planned project for the day was to build a balance beam
and check to see where different amounts of bricks balance.
Since we had two sides of the table one group built another project, also.

This is a windmill.

The larger blades were easier to move.

Add some gears and we made a fan.

When the same weight is placed the same distance from the middle the sides are balanced.
Changing the distance and the sides are not level.

Where would different amounts need to be placed to get the sides to balance?
