Acrobatic clowns

We have made these lovely acrobatic clowns.

Teacher says we will need them to do some science.

Could it have anything to do with gravity?

We have been talking about gravity in class.

This morning we tried balancing our clowns on our fingers.

They kept falling off and landing on the ground.

We know this is because gravity pulls them to the earth.

Then we put coins on each hand of the clown.

Now because of the weights we can get our clowns to balance.

We had a lot of fun balancing our clowns in all sorts of interesting places in our classroom.
