Science at home! Fun homemade experiments for the little ones. Let's learn about the Center of Gravity!

[lasocia]

The experiments at home are a very valuable tool that we have to take advantage of, they offer us infinite possibilities that we must use to teach. Today we will study what is the Center of Gravity by means of a super simple and funny example, I assure you that the little ones will love, color, cut, paste and at the same time learn.Hello friends of @hive, the education of our children is paramount for us as parents and that is why we always have to look for the best teaching tools that help us transmit knowledge in a practical and fun way.

But before starting with the fun it is important that we learn the basic concept of today's topic!

What is the Center of Gravity?

The center of gravity is the point where all the gravitational forces that are exerted on a body are found. It is the place where the sagittal, frontal and horizontal planes meet.Source

Materials:

• White sheet of paper
• Carton not too thick
• Scissors
• Glue
• Colors
• Thread
• Washer or nut

Process:

• First of all let's draw a beautiful little bird to be our assistant to study the center of gravity!

• Next comes the funniest part for the little ones, coloring and trimming.

• Try placing the bird standing on a table, you will notice that it is impossible to hold it immediately falls.

• Then give a little hole to the little bird in the lower part of your body, in this case your feet and go through a son.

• Once this is done try again to put the little bird on its feet and you will notice that if you succeed. Diverded, right?

Waooooww !! we make our little bird stand on its own!

What has happened?

Without the washer:

Without the washer the gravitational center is above the point of support, so the balance is unstable and the bird falls.

With the washer:

With the washer in the legs we achieve that the center of gravity is below the point of support, so we achieve a stable equilibrium point.

As you can see the Home Experiments can be very useful when using them as a teaching and learning tool, we as parents have the responsibility to offer our children the best possible education, for which we should look for the most appropriate strategies, our little ones They are full of curiosity and they love seeing new things and that is a point in our favor, the Experiments Cases gives us a universe of our knowledge. The opportunity to learn while having fun, just do not think about it anymore and put it into practice.

Hello, and what do you recommend that I do? What is the procedure? because I really don't know why that happened to me and I don't know how to solve it, could you guide me? immensely grateful in advance.
