About This Project

Let’s turn your playground into a science lab and see how your body helps you balance! In this activity, you’ll walk across a balance beam (or a line on the ground) in different ways to find out what makes balancing easier or harder. You’ll learn about something called your center of gravity, where your body’s weight is balanced, and how it affects your walk. (Image generated with AI)
