Join us for an interactive workshop in which we explore balance and toppling! Participants will use their own bodies as scientific equipment to investigate the conditions for balancing, and how and when toppling will occur. We will explore the meaning of ‘centre of mass’, predict its location in regular shapes and understand the technique to find its location in non-regular objects. What is the effect of changing a shape on the location of its center of mass? What patterns can you spot in how much we can tilt an object before it topples? How can we increase the amount we can tilt it before it topples?
