Balancing Act

With this simulation students can move objects on a seesaw to learn about balance and test what they have learned by trying the Balance Challenge game.

Sample learning objectives include:

*Predict how objects of various masses can be used to make a plank balance.

*Predict how changing the...

Balancing Acts

A Year Ten module from the Salters’ double award GCSE science course. This module deals with interactions between species in ecosystems. Students are shown how stable conditions lead to a natural balance in populations and how human activities can disturb this balance....

Balancing Chemical Equations

With this simulation students can explore the conservation of mass and balance chemical equations. Sample learning objectives include: *Balance a chemical equation. *Recognize that the number of atoms of each element is conserved in a chemical reaction. Describe the difference between coefficients and subscripts in...

Balancing Clowns

From the Centre for Science Education, and with support from Shell Education services, these materials help children to investigate forces and balance.

The materials contain a clown shape to colour in and cut out. The shape is then weighted with steel washers and balanced on a taut piece of string. Once...

This series introduces early readers to non-fiction. Each book is designed to increase reading fluency and combines a narrative text, accessible language and an easy-to-follow format with an exciting story at the end...
