Balance Stations
Students are introduced to the concept of balance. In groups, they travel between eight stations in which they balance their own body and different types of balls. To end the lesson, they share which one was the hardest and the easiest.
Curated OER
Balancing Act
Students demonstrate management skills specific to balance. In this physical education lesson students participate in activities with and without apparatus to improve balance. Students work at 8 stations to practice skills needed for...

The Inertial Balance
Students weigh objects using a triple beam balance. For this mass lesson, students use an inertial balance made with a metal rod to measure and graph vibrations of varying numbers of pennies in a bucket. References and discussion prompts...
Curated OER
Balance and Gravity
Students examine the concepts of balance. In this balance and gravity activity students view a demonstration of a leaning tower and see how to find the center of gravity.
